Ascent Trip ReportWe could not have asked for better weather. Clear skies, very low wind, and clouds approaching in the distance. We left Pinkham Notch at 340am and made steady progress up the Lion Head Summer Route to the Lion Head Pillar, which we reached in 3 hours. It took another 2 hours of exhaustive hiking to make it to the summit. We made the summit at 945 AM and spent 30 minutes taking photos and enjoying the views. The descent was uneventful. For our first time on Mt. Washington, and my second winter ascent ever, it was a perfect experience.
