First time up Mount Washington as a conditioner, definitely more difficult than Mt. Si but still was a beautiful trip. Would caution good boots with good ankle support for the first mile which is extremely rocky. Last third of the climb is covered in snow, mostly slush or ice, regardless was fairly successful with just Micro-Spikes. I do wish I had brought an iceaxe for the end, just due to the risk of coming back down with a slight rain on the snow and a couple of frustrating slides we had.
Honestly a solid day.
