Huntington Ravine to Mount Washington | The Most Dangerous Trail in the White Mountains!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2021
- This amazing trail is considered the most difficult hiking trail in the northeast USA. The lower "approach" section and upper "alpine" section are not difficult, but the middle "headwall" section is where the route will test your mettle.
The lower "approach" section begins at the Tuckerman Ravine Trail and ends at the rescue cache in the floor of the ravine. This section is a gradual ascent on a rock-strewn path through the forest, paralleling and repeatedly crossing the stream that drains Huntington Ravine. Sights include many waterfalls, one cave, and distant views of the "headwall" section.
The middle "headwall" section begins at the rescue cache in the floor of the ravine and ends at the Alpine Garden Trail. This section begins with scrambling around, over, and under giant boulders in the floor of the ravine, then ascends a giant talus slope called "The Fan" before ascending the steep and dangerous headwall itself. Note that the headwall portion is so steep and sheer that it's basically rock climbing. Features include scrambles on large exposed ledges with limited holds, traverses across ledges, hugging a hanging boulder, and a narrow chimney.
The upper "alpine" section begins at the Alpine Garden Trail and ends at the Auto Road. Just before reaching the Auto Road, a left turn onto Nelson Crag Trail leads to the summit of Mount Washington. This section involves a gradual ascent on rock steps, following cairns and scree walls through the alpine environment. Note that there is no shelter from the potentially brutal weather, and the terrain blocking the typical strong northwest winds may lull hikers into underestimating the conditions. If there is any doubt about the safety of the conditions, and knowing that descending the headwall is dangerous, retreat must follow the Alpine Garden Trail either south to Lion Head Trail or north to the Auto Road.

Tips for people just getting into hiking:
Don’t do this hike if you are a beginner! Seriously
LNT - leave no trace. Meaning if you carry it in then carry it out and if you do see trash on trail try to carry it out as well to help keep these mountains beautiful and clean.
Do The Rock Hop - The Alpine vegetation is very rare and very fragile so when you’re on the summit of these mountains please only walk on bare rocks to avoid killing the vegetation!

#HuntingtonRavine #MountWashington #Terrifying25
Now you all can see the “trail” that the rescuers have to negotiate when carrying a litter with someone who shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Shout out to all rescue volunteers and crews who do great work.
My brother and I went to the White Mountains as complete backpacking novices 38 years ago in early May (ages 19 and 24). In planning the trip, I saw on a topographic map that there was a trail marked going up through Huntington Ravine, so I figured we could just HIKE up it, like you do on trails. We were quite surprised at how steep the "trail" was getting. The we came to a permanently-shaded snow/ice field in the V of the ravine, which seemed insane to cross, so scrapped our plans and started heading back down. But with our 65 pound old-school external frame packs, rocks were sliding our from under us all over, so we figured that wasn't going to work. So we used our old Rambo knives as ice picks and crossed the snow/ice patch on all fours. Started heading back up the rock...BUT now we were no longer on the route. Shortly after we started up, I was stuck on near-vertical rock with essentially nothing at all in the way of hand or foot holds, unlike in this video with great holds. With only 1/2-1 inch rounded and wet and slimy holds and 65 pound packs (and absolutely zero rock climbing experience), we were truly on the brink of death. Felt like we had one foot on the other side. Ended up taking us 3-4 hours to go about 80-100 feet up a cliff, where we eventually regained the route, which was a piece of cake compared to what we had just survived.
I just went back to the top of Huntington Ravine this week with the family to revisit the site of the ordeal. Then found this video. This is really wonderful having a video re-creation of that area.
That’s insane. You guys got extremely lucky because all you needed was extreme winds and white out conditions to roll in quick and you’d be in even more trouble. Thanks for sharing! My friend and I have snowboarded a lot at Tuckerman Ravine and always played it safe. He got super close to falling into a crevasse on the ravine one day at the end of May, and we didn’t spend a ton of time there due to bad wind coming in. Mount Washington is an insane place just to be.
Your video popped up in my feed and I loved it! I now hike instead of being an alcoholic and can totally relate to your excitement and exhilaration when you spot the gnarly track up ahead! Also the weather, terrain and flora changing. I became hooked from my first rock scramble; crave it.
That trail looks insane! Thank you for filming.
Lots of love from Australia.
That is awesome! thank you for watching and thank you for the comment! The mountains have made me the happiest version of myself I could ever be. It’s my playground.
By far the most thorough documentation of this trail, while holding a go pro in one hand, and Ryan with his damn poles🤣 "Hands Down" the best HR vlog!
Thank you! I tried to show it all. Hike the hike with me. See what’s it’s all about. No one every really documents these things thoroughly and I’m a detailed Kinda person. If I watch a blog it’s because I want the details
i love those darn poles! but they were quite inconvenient at times on this hike haha
I feel like I’m there. This is gold.
Huntington Ravine is hard but it’s definitely doable. The first time I hiked Mt Washington my father took me up Huntington’s when I was 12. I had no climbing or hiking experience, I didn’t even know what I was getting myself into. He’s a former Army Ranger 75th, and had been up the mountain a bunch of times. His wife at the time was 6 months pregnant and did Tucks then Boot Spur. I remember wanting to quit at one point and him just telling me- “we can go back if you want but just remember that turning around now will be harder than finishing”. It took up about 3 hours I think to summit and it was late July so all the snow had melted and the trail wasn’t as wet as it was here. The fog also cleared out towards the end so you could see the whole valley and just how high up you were which made things even more scary. I also fell into the water at the start standing on a rock while trying to take a picture lol.
That said- if you’re a beginner this trail is definitely possible, as long as you’re with someone experienced to lead you. As long as you’re in shape you won’t have any problems but it does get sketchy at some points. For me- it was almost better not knowing the risk beforehand because if I did I wouldn’t have done it. Now that I’m 32 I’ve been up Huntington Ravine about a dozen times. We do it every summer. It’s fun to camp out at night too and start the trail first thing in the morning so you get a good head start before anyone else, then have the rest of the day to do whatever.
Here's a comment for the algorithms. Nicely done. This trail is now on my bucket list.
If you’re not already subscribe to my channel, I post lots of hard and crazy trails to my channel. The one I’m posting tomorrow is the second bucket list hike for most people besides Huntington ravine.
The one im posting tomorrow is in the Adirondacks and it’s truly amazing.
Thank you for the comment, I’m glad you have a new bucket list item. This is one definitely that needs to be done.
Thanks for the great video,,,, never did that trail and now at 75 dont think i ever will. Just wonderful.
Wicked pissah !!! 50 yrs ago I did it. My hiking high point. Now I watch it & I freeze up
from fear. And now I got vertigo ! I guess I will stay home & suck down beers !
Best HRT video I have seen & thats no shit. I will pass it on....
LFOD !
Best line in any of your videos…. “Whacking the official bush 😂😂😂😂😂”. Great video as always !!
Hahahaha You got a love whacking the official bush
Wow, what a wild video. I've hiked Mt. Washington five times -- your video is proof why I will never take Huntington Ravine to get there. Many pucker moments just in the video. Great work!
Hahaha it’s great!!
Lol my dad took me up Huntington Ravine when I was 12- with me never even having hiking or climbing experience. I’ve never even seen the trail before or had no knowledge of how difficult it is. If I could do it at 12, you can do it now.
You guys are soo brave growing up in the 70 s my brothers told me about the famous Huntington ravine now I know what they mean. Your awesome climbers and with a go pro !!
Glad you enjoyed watching!
You guys showed no fear . I’m surprised you all remained so calm . Invaluable video!
Best video of HR on UA-cam bar none.
Thank you man!
@@BrianHikesAllDay absolutely captured just how gnarly that route is.
Badass.
This is absolutely the best Huntington video I've ever seen. Great job, Brian, doing it mostly one-handed!!
You guys are crazy! Love your hikes and videos, ten thousand thumbs up!
Thank you so much for the comment, you have no clue how much time and effort it takes to put these together and edit etc. It’s nice to know it’s appreciated
Omg! I love a good rock scramble, cliffs and all things terrifying, but my heart was literally pounding watching this! So fantastic!! Looked amazing!
It was absolutely amazing! I think the weather made it better for me.. I’m obsessed with those climbing into the clouds type of days!
@@BrianHikesAllDay that part where it looked like you popped out in front of that cliff or basin was crazy! And that trail that you said looked odd to you in the beginning with the rocks and grass reminded me of a ski trail. That area has backcountry downhill skiing. Was it that? Tucks is a big springtime ski/snowboard destination. That hike looked tougher/longer than the trap dike. I loved the trap dike.
That was Awesome !!! I've watched it twice now
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. I'm 70, and will never climb Huntington's Ravine in this life, so very glad to get to see it.
Thank you so much for watching. I tried to give one of the best and most thorough vlogs on the Internet of this climb!
Awesome vlog there, great job! Thanks for putting that together and congrats on finishing the Terrible 25. I have to catch up on some of your other vlogs.
Thank you so much Craig! Glad you enjoyed it and make sure to check out my playlist to narrow down what you’re looking for.
Insane!!! And ya make it look easy. Great videos of your adventures.
Thanks man! We do a lot of Ultra Hikes together so big miles and big gain is a common thing for us
Very detailed! Well done!
Thank you!
This is literally awesome
ive never seen such a detailed and spectacular video. i never took this trail because i dont like exposure. best video on Huntington ravine! thank you!!!
You’re welcome, usually when I vlog something I go above and beyond! For the best memory for me but for the best detailed planning for other people! Glad you enjoyed. Happy trails!
Very nice video, happy to see you enjoyed your hike. I have been hiking and skiing the Whites for decades. Funny thing is I had never heard of the terrible 25 until you. I did some of the T25 with a 50 pound pack back in the day. Thankfully today I am carrying a super light UL pack now I think people generally ice climb and ski Huntington Ravine. I am now retired and doing mostly long distance backpacking Long Trail, Colorado Trail but you have inspired me to maybe go back and hike some of my old friends in the Whites. I did the Pemi last year and really enjoyed it. You make great content, thanks so much.
Great video! Certainly one of the best. Been a few years since I have been up. Bought back some nice memories. Thank you.
Heck yea!!
I have to admit, I felt anxious and had sweaty palms for a lot of this vlog LOL! Congrats and amazing video footage as always!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks like a really fun and challenging trail.
Best Huntington Ravine trail video ever! Amazing camera work.
Thanks Dave! I’m trying my best over hear to get some of the best hiking content out there!
Incredible amazing job. I LOVE this video! It made my feet sweat!!
That is freaking awesome
Follow the yellow markers! 😅 That was some freaking hike. It's a miracle none of guys got hurt. Congrats!
Wow! This had some harrowing moments for sure. Thanks for filming it for us . Be safe out there.
Thanks so much for watching. It’s such an awesome video and really truly shows what’s involved in Huntington ravine climb!! I love this video. One of my favorites
Nicely done, thanks for sharing this. I have two left, the two you had prior to this day you shot this video and yes, I would say this is the best and most complete video I have seen of HR!
Yes!! Awesome!
Thank you Brian for the video and all your videos. Fantastic footage. We climbed Mount Hunter with my 7 year old son. And we also climbed Mt Moosilauke with my 7 year old soon too. 9 hrs non stop. We took the loop trail, started with Rt side trail ( when looking at the trail map) and made loop and came back from the Lt side when looking at the trail map.We came back to the parking when it was exactly getting dark in 5 min. But Huntington Ravine is really brutal :)I LOVE your videos !!!!
AWESOME 👊 👋Thank you my friend, stay safe, be well ✌ 😎 crazy stones💪! The White's of NH , nothing else like them! 👊
Great video!👍
HR is nuts lol. Good job, man! I hiked it in my 20's. May be time to revisit...
This was great! Thank you for filming...had to call off my try at this last yeardue to weather...hoping to get a DRY day this year!! Thank you
Thanks for watching Tina! I hope you get the picture perfect day for this one!
Amazing stuff brother
Thank you
Not gonna lie the hike in this particular video looks absolutely nuts, especially with the foggy and wet weather. I have to give you props for climbing to the top, definitely not easy!
Niceeee great video! Such a fun trail
Yea man! But shit this is flat compared to Colorado
This is one awesome trail! Years ago a friend and I went up it with 3 days worth of gear on our backs ! It was crazy. You had some good wind to deal with on this one. Solid video man
Thanks man! It was a really great time and thoroughly enjoyed putting this blog together to record this amazing memory
I've been watching these Huntington Ravine videos and this one is by far the best one. I've done a few T25's but not this one yet. You guys looked like you had a lot of fun on this one.
We always have a blast when we hike together!! The mountains make us feel like kids in a candy store!
Going around that rock is a pucker moment. Was hesitant going around it when I did it in 17. Good video
Hahahaha yes def a pucker moment!
Great vid! Trail looks insane, not sure I'm ready for it yet lol. Also, those winds at the top were serious!
Yea Washington is no joke with the weather sometimes
Well done. It does look difficult but not impossible.
Wow! Great job filming and I would not have my poles out in a rock scramble.
love your stoke!
Wish I could give you more than one thumbs up. I love a good scramble but I let out an involuntary “NOPE” towards the end. 😁 Thanks for filming this for us.
Just climbed this yesterday in ideal conditions. Hands-down the most terrifying trail I've ever done. More dangerous than Knife Edge, King Ravine, etc. Quite a rush while you're in it but I'm never doing that again. Anyone planning to do this be on full alert!
More terrifying that knifes edge ? How ?
You deserve at least as many thumbs up as”Dudes!” Good job on the climb and the vlog.
Thank you for the 👍🏻
Great footage. I'm 28 and just did this with my older brother for the first time and my reactions were very similar to yours (mostly incredulous). I've hiked some hard trails in the Whites and never been too spooked but this trail had me laughing at how ridiculous it was sometimes. It was much drier when I did it though, I'm not sure I'd have the heart to do it on that misty/wet day like you! Incredibly rewarding and I certainly won't forget it though.
Hell yea man! It’s a great trail!
Love this.
Awesome! Thank you 😊
There are two things I can't believe:
1) That I actually hiked this trail last year, and
2) That you hiked it in wet, windy, overcast weather, and while holding a camera for most of the climb.
Extremely well done, and absolutely deserving of the thumbs up. Looking forward to the Great Gulf video - that will be my final T25!
Yes!! Thank you Greg! The great gulf video came out great with the clouds clearing out in our face and turning into magic views
"Shi...shkabob" 😂 love it. I really enjoy how excited you get.
Ok, I climbed and filmed this in 2010--this is why we need updates like yours--I think they rerouted the trail above the huge first slab, because I remember hard work and difficulty above it, but not the exposure you're showing(the trail was also much drier). When I GoPro a trail (e.g., the Chimney on the Knife Edge), I use the Chesty, because, unlike you, I need Both hands, All of the time! 🤣 Yes, Six Husbands is difficult, but child's play compared to HR, only one (former) area of exposure. Your videos are great fun and informative, and a real service to hikers.
I've experienced this same type of weather but 80mph and heavy rain when we got to the hut in the clouds the most craziest mountain I ever hiked , it's like a different world through that rock section before the summit.
That’s got to be some crazy experience to be up there during that. I’ve been up there and equally as crazy conditions in a different way. Not with the wind but -50 temperatures in the winter! No room for error
Sick video 🤜🤛 I take the Cog to the top. Huntington Ravine is scary! Good job!! 🎉 -Sadie in NH 💜
13:00 & 20:00 that rock wall is like holy fukk 😳
Love the cog!
By far the best of the ravine
Thank you I tried to make sure it was the best
Great video. Soloed this a few weeks ago...rock conditions were similar, blazes were fainter. Right around 21:50 where you say "We have to climb this!?" and then mention the "bypass", I went the wrong way and did climb up that little cliff to end up right where you're standing when you say "scenic overlook". Scary exposed vertical moment. Now I know where the trail actually went!
I did this hike solo today (8/7/22), in similar weather although it was much warmer, but a lot of the rocks were really damp. It definitely lived up to its reputation and I had a couple of "Oh shit!" moments. Had I watched this video first I probably would have decided against it, haha! Great job filming, you are a hero. I can't imagine trying to hold a camera in some of those spots.
Thanks so much!! I’m glad you survived 😂
I went up the Ammonoosuc trail the day after you and I thought that was as bad as it got, now I wanna go back to see how bad it really gets
@@nostalgicgamer0435 Do it! Just make sure it's dry that day. The weather's looking good for this weekend. I'm contemplating doing the Great Gulf trail next.
I'll definitely be waiting for a nice dry day.
Went up in the mid '70's - I don't remember it as being so overgrown. My most recent hikes were in the Bavarian/Tirolean Alps.... there, this trail would be labeled a "Klettersteig" and have cables and footholds. The footways are more even there, as the rock is mainly limestone that wears down - the Rockpile is largely made up of mics schist - the "Littleton Formation" that is very hard.
Great job! this video made me a subscriber :)
That’s awesome man. Lots of awesome content on the channel. Glad you liked the vlog
I think that the North Slide Trail on North Tripyramid gives Huntington Ravine a challenge for title of most dangerous official trail in the Whites.
I couldn’t agree with you more
Thank you for this video as my son and his friends are planning of hiking this July. At least I know whta kind of condition the trail is.
Nice!!!!
Thank you!
Looking at making a winter summit attempt early Feb up either Tuckerman’s or Huntington depending on conditions. Very much liked the video quality of the terrain & trail. Looking forward to the blisteringly cold weather, snow & ice that should be there for the ascent/decent. Fingers crossed the weather isn’t too extreme - anything beyond -50 to -60 windchill & I may have to reconsider.
This. Is. Insane.
Love it!!! On my list!!!
What trail did you take down?
ua-cam.com/video/LUjmw6YhvHM/v-deo.html
Thank you for this... Now I know what not to do when I visit Mt Washington, NH
Insane!! I think I might lock up on that section where you looked straight over the cliff…… I’ve hiked a Presi but not sure if I’m ready for that!! Great video!!
Like any mountain you can pick any route that you are capable of. I’m sure if you look around there’s a way up around no hanging cliffs
@@BrianHikesAllDay i hiked this today and i can confirm that is not true
@@claudiak9392 you have to hang off the cliff to get up?
that head wall got me nervous even though i knew u make it
Just did this 8/19/22... Thank you for not downplaying the danger of it... Some UA-camrs definitely are trying to make it seem like no big deal when it is. The brook crossing rocks were submerged under 3 ft of water... If that is something people see it's an indication that it will be extremely bad farther on. The Boulder Field was intense but manageable but the slab had a 4 ft wide water flow on it that made the move crossing to the first handhold on the crack potentially deadly, the headwall climbing after was drier but still was about an hour of intensity with 4 big risk spots due to water. Again thank you for showing how dangerous this actually is.
Thank you! I try my best to document these hikes in the most realistic and detailed ways possible To truly show people what they’re getting themselves into before they do it.
@@BrianHikesAllDay yours was pretty much the best when I was looking for clips/vids characterizing the climb to pass along so that friends would know what it was that I was attempting and possibly so that they would not think me foolish for making a few contacts that I wouldn't have normally made to say things I wouldn't have normally said lol. I had done this in 2012 and knew what I was up to (up against)... Four people attempted it that 8/19 two turned around at the slab. My evaluation was that descending the Boulder Field and recrossing the stream five times was equal danger to the slab and I feel like that should be mentioned - especially when the stream was as high as it was. Nice work perhaps I'll run into you on the side of a mountain somewhere in the future.
That’s mostly what I do nowadays. Almost every single weekend I’m doing a Bushwhack and Slide Climb. Only one slides are not doable am I taking some normal Trails and working on some red lining
@@BrianHikesAllDay have you encountered any of the slick red algae on granite recently? When I was in Acadia last year training on the Cadillac West face trail and every damp section was red and it like being on ice skates... That was my biggest fear about the slab crossing but it fortunately wasn't there. An Acadia park ranger told me that it showed up in the last few years... Something to be aware of I suppose.
It’s been very dry in the dacks these last couple months.. Play I really have an experienced much of any slime on anything technical
Awesome video, thanks so much for vlogging this while climbing it! How does this compare to the Holt Trail on Cardigan? Obviously this is a lot more scrambling and way more exposed, but I'm just talking about the difficulty of the climbing/scrambling - that's another trail that's supposed to be "one of the hardest in NE" and is also Class 3.
much quicker of a hike of corse but steep as shit as well!
My hiking days are long behind me, but wanted to find out where Henry Bryant Bigelow died on this trail back September 19, 1931, after holding a ledge that came loose and falling on him as he tumbled 40 feet down. I hope there are some markers to let hikers know where the loose ledges are
Yeah this is out of my league but I loved watching this ! Maybe a GoPro mount on the head would help free up your hands? Thank you for documenting this! Subscribed !
I have tons of awesome Contant on my channel. This specific one would be in my terrifying 25 playlist which is one of my favorites
Holy cow! Congrats Brian on your T25 finish but most of all congrats on this awesome vlog! That's one wicked trail and to capture it the way you did was amazing. To do this in the conditions you had...man craziness.
Thanks bear!! It was truly awesome
At the 13:36 moment of the video, you almost videotaped your friend falling to his death. Very scary stuff!!!
Hi Brian. Loved this video. Great Vlog. I'm curious....I saw that you also did Holt trail. My boyfriend and I did Holt a couple years ago but have not done Huntington. We wondered how they compare in regards to steepness and technical aspects? We are both fairly short at 5'4" and 5'6" and I know I struggled a bit on Holt at times because of that but we really loved Holt even though it terrified us.
I think it’s very comparable in terms of steepness near the top of Holt. There was some sections of the Holt Trail where the slide was so Steve I couldn’t even go up if I tried so the slide section on the Holt Trail was steeper than Huntington ravine slide but overall Huntington ravine was steeper but with lots of hand holds that make it feel safer
Just watched a few of your other videos as well. Great documentation of your hikes !! Well done
I'm interested in approaching the T 25, but not sure if I have the stomach for it. Not sure if you are familiar with Maine, but the 'spiciest' hikes I've done are Katahdin's Cathedral Trail (a dozen times) and Knife Edge Trail (a few times). I do tend to get a little vertigo at a couple points on Knife Edge and end up 'hugging a rock for a few minutes' . lol
You have any advice about the T 25, such as which trails to start with? Or how they compare with Katahdin?
I think if you do knifes edge via Katahdin you should be fine anywhere. There’s some very dicey sections on that. But if you want to go for easiest to hardest I would say the hardest are all the ones in the presidential range and north slide to try pyramid. I would do them all last. All the other ones are pretty good to start with
I highly recommend wearing approach shoes with a Vibram sole instead of random trail runners. They are super grippy even if the rock is wet (as long as there is no lichen) and make a huge difference for safety and enjoyment. Also, stow away the trekking poles!
Who in the heck gave this video a thumbs down?! What an awesome video. Thank you for surviving, first off... but also thank you for managing to survive while tackling the hardest climb in the Northeast with camera in hand. This is spectacular stuff.
Hell yea bro!!!
Wow; doing this hike tomorrow morning. Liked this video more than any of the other’s previous for the capture of all of the gnarliest spots - and doing it while filming haha. Some other videos look better on nicer days, but this one was nice and informative and well captured. Hats off 🎩 to you buddy! So psyched to make this happen tomorrow!!!
Thank you Jim Jerry!
Nice video, sign should be at the bottom with the warning. You don’t go down that trail 💥
i hiked this when I was 14 with the boy scouts was really fun
How old are you now
This video should have a million views. So truly amazing, and your enthusiasm is infectious. Do you still hike the Whites? You say "wicked" so I think you may be from NH. Just crazy.
I live in Pennsylvania, but travel to the mountains every weekend. But the last couple years I haven’t made it to New Hampshire. A lot of goals elsewhere New Hampshire is too far of a drive for the weekends but I could swing the Adirondacks so I’m pretty much there every weekend.
awesome, i think i'd wait for a dry day tho
I would completely agree with that. Although I totally loved the vibe of our day anyway. Also the summit forecast and regular forecast was perfect for this day and I drove up eight hours from Pennsylvania. A little bit invested to just turn around you know. Thanks for watching!
That ledge/corner at 24:00 after the last chute…is that actually on the trail or did you do that on your own? I have watched every other HR video on YT and no one else shows that bit!
Excellent video! Inspiring!
That was the only way I could find up. I believe there was another way up but it was too steep and too wet. I believe that was part of the trail or one of the sections of trail to get up. Not 100% sure. All I know at that time that was the only way I could find up
Incredible, thanks for the response!
I did Huntington ravine in summer, it was in the 80s when we started on the ground. Most of the way up I think thinking I might die of heat exhaustion, especially once we got above the timber line; then I was more concerned with falling to my death. ps.....it was my first ever hike of any kind, total novice.
What a freaking way to break yourself in
@@BrianHikesAllDay tell me about it lol.....i went to maine with a friend of mine whose parents had a log cabin close to the NH border...he says ..."wanna go hiking?".....Me: " ok, but is this anything I need any experience for?".....Him..." nah"........coulda killed him that day, but of course now looking back it was a great experience, and great story. In the next couple of years I hiked Mt Washington 2 more times, but Tuckerman.
New sub here, great channel
Thanks so much!
Sick trail! I did it a week before you on the 24th
Nice man! Did you have fun!
@@BrianHikesAllDay it was awesome! Not as bad as I expected. How did you feel about it?
Doing it wet was a little sketchy on the slide but other then that fine
this looks so fun. i'm so tempted to give it a go but idk if I'm a beginner or not. i can go to trails that arent flat so I know how to climb rocks I think. would you think someone that has done scrambling can do this?
Without actually knowing you I can’t give you an answer. Although considering this is the most dangerous trail on the East Coast I would not recommend this to people who aren’t experience hikers
I am a very inexperienced hiker and i survived but its so bad …. I was having panic attack after panic attack…
Omg we did iypt yesterday and ho,y cow and the calves it was tough!
Now that it’s all done did you absolutely love it?
@@BrianHikesAllDay yes! It was nice dry day for the old peeps to go up. Took Nelson Craig down...
I’m glad that you and your friend Nelson had a good descent
This was my 1st ever trail hiking up mt Washington as my 1st 4000 footer. Didn’t really have anything to compare it to so I thought this was how every trail would be 😂
That would be a dream. Come true having every trail like this. I usually have to bushwhack and climb landslides to get anything comparable.
im gonna do this on thursday
I did this yesterday and almost had a panic attack… I cried all over my partner afterwards 😂 Terrified of heights; so much vertigo.
I can’t believe you did this 1 handed- holy shit! 🤯
Did you watch this video before you went? Or after?
whacking the official bush! nuts!
Whacking the official bush!! Hahahaha
i was going to climb this mountain but after watching this video, I think I will get take the car route and just get the bumper sticker :"This car climber mount Washington" LOL
There are many trails to the summit. Muah easier ones.. this is a non common and hard route
I think the sketchy part is called the scramble , not fun in the rain.
I was there with my friends couple of wks before you were there. Thank god we didn’t take that trail. It looks scary and sketchy as you said quite a lot.
A bunch of friends went hiking there and we split into several groups. I opted not to do Huntington Ravine. That is just too insane for me.
