Me and a couple buddies climbed Mt. Washington this past weekend, figured I'd throw up some pictures:

Cool...I've been up there a couple of times before. How was it at the top?
For those who don't know, it can get a bit windy up there..

"A weather observatory on the summit once held the record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth's surface, 231 mph (372 km/h) (or 103 m/s), on the afternoon of April 12, 1934"

-7 degrees with windchill, about 50mph winds with 70mph gusts....we were up there for about 15 minutes; enough to drink a victory beer, wolf down two sandwich's, and take pictures
