Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 3221193, member: 2500"] From 81-95, except one year, every Columbus Day weekend, couple of friends and I would hike the Whites, trying to get all the 4K footers. The year we took Tuckerman up Mt Washington it was pretty warm - high 60s at base, still above freezing at summit. Windy at top, but not ridiculous. However, the year we did Wildcat, right across Rt16, thought we were in deep doo-doo. Temp around 17F with windchills well into the -30s above treeline. I have photos that make us look like we were on an Everest climb or Antartica expedition - ice covered beards and eyebrows. Thought we might get blown off one of the narrower ridges. Was the least fun of all our hikes. I'm still three short (the Bonds). Not sure I'll ever get to finish at this point. [/QUOTE]
