\"Hiking

February is the peak of winter in New Hampshire\u2019s Presidential Range and it may be troublesome to discover a climate window the place the temperatures and wind pace are protected to climb the upper peaks. I\u2019d handed up a couple of alternatives the week prior when the wind speeds have been too excessive for my liking and I used to be resigned to ready till subsequent yr with a view to climb Mt Adams (5793\u2032) and Mt Madison (5367\u2032), the second and fifth highest peaks on the White Mountains 4000 footer record.<\/a><\/p>\n

So after I awakened on Monday morning (Washington\u2019s Birthday) and noticed that the wind pace on Mt Adams was forecast to be 11 mph the subsequent day, which could be very low, and that it could be within the 20\u2019s (F) and sunny, I made a decision that I\u2019d climb the Adams and Madison, that are adjoining, then. I texted my buddy Lynn to see if she wished to return and he or she responded by inviting me to affix her, our buddy Rick, and his buddy Al, since they have been planning to climb the peaks too.<\/p>\n

Lynn, like me, is engaged on the White Mountains 4000 Footer Grid<\/a>, a peak record the place you climb all 48 of the White Mountain 4000 footers as soon as in every calendar month (48 x 12) for a complete of 576 summits. Rick and Al, have already accomplished one spherical of The Grid and are engaged on their second spherical. I\u2019ve identified Rick and Lynn for properly over 10 years and appeared ahead to assembly Al as properly. You couldn\u2019t ask for a greater and extra skilled crew to climb Adams and Madison in winter.<\/p>\n
