Sweet trip. Looks like you guys had a blast. I did Mt Washington via Tucks taril Saturday night and Sunday. I was beat from that trip. My hat is off to you.

That was a truly fantastic TR. Congratulations, you two! I am in awe of both of you. Your report was a joy to read, and your pictures are great. Amazing.

Thank you everyone for the most gracious responses!

I've started to plan the exact same trip, only this time we're going to do it in the heart of winter. This is going to be extremely difficult and planning will obviously be far more intense.

I have two other people committed to the trip with the possibility of a fourth person. This is good news because it spreads the weight of emergency supplies and gear over four people.

Once I have everything in line I'll just play the waiting game because we won't attempt this until the forecast calls for a very clear high pressure day. With the amount of exposure on this hike far more risky on a bad day and plus glaring through the wind and fog all day will do absolutely nothing for morale.

Has anyone done this? Some knowledge and insight would be much appreciated.
