Ascent Trip ReportWe thought the dirt road we started on would go all the way to the ridge northeast of Mt. Washington. Once we saw that it ended far short, we continued off-trail toward the ridge. About 1000 feet from the ridge, we saw that we would need to cross several steep chutes filled with loose scree to get there. So we decided to go up the best looking of the chutes instead. It was mostly exposed class 2, with some class 3 sections. Once on top of the chute, the summit was a short and easy walk.
We descended via the road to the mine, after which, the other hikers hiked back up the first road to retrieve the vehicles.
