Mt Washington, who's climbed it?

Just got back from a road trip through New Hampshire. Took a drive up Mt Washington. 8 miles and 6200' up. Pretty scenery, and a great road to put the diesel to good use. All the way up my wife kept asking if my truck was going to make it all she kept hearing was the turbo.

Got me one of those neat bumper stickers that says "This car climbed Mt Washington"....And no, I did not actually attach it to my truck...


Anyone else make the trip up?

I used to work at the Mt Washington Cog Railway. Does that count?

I haven't been there myself, but my best friend actually climbed it in the winter two years in a row. I think he's got plenty of pics too. I would have liked to go, but work prevented me from doing so. Neat place though.

I have only taken the shoe leather express up the mountain, but not the truck. I live about an hour from the mountain. Where did you make the trip from?

I've hiked up Mt. Washington a few years back. Id say i go up about 5 times a year on the cog as well. Mothers friend paints the coaches for the Cog railway to I can't resist some free tickets . The scenery in the Mt. Washington valley is just absolutely amazing.

Mt. Washington? How about Hill Washington? That moutain is not much more than a bump.


Oh well, if you have to look up too see the top I guess it might be a mountain.
