My shit

what trail are you taking up m8? i've done washington a few times and never once used poles. tuckerman? gulf? something else?

>>838849
I'm not sure yet, I'm going with 3 other guys who have all done it before, one guy goes up all time and he's going to be the "guide"

>>838838
You'll be fine with jeans, as long as they fit you right and aren't too baggy or tight, plenty of people /out/ in jeans.

Hiking poles are your preference to make, I've never used a pair so I can't say there are any pros or cos to it.

>>838839

If you were never in the military kys

You don't need the giant knife, little knife, and multitool. That's overkill. Take the small knife, it's all you need.

You didn't specify footwear, may sure you have reliable boots. I wouldn't use trail runners, but some people prefer them.

Please please I beg of you not to wear the shemga. It's as cringe worthy as it gets, it's the fedora of sc/out/s.

>>838838
NH isn't that /out/. Rating thread OP only gave it like a 5 out of 10

That said I've been in jeans in the WMNF 100's of times and I'm still alive.

Don't underestimate Mt Washington. It's been called the worst weather in the world. That's not exactly true, but it can get bad quickly. You can leave at 70 degrees and be sunny and within 2 hours can be below freezing with hurricane force winds. It's been called the most dangerous small mountain in the world for a reason. Almost 140 people have died on its slopes. The highest ground wind speed ever recorded was there at 231 Mph, and on average 100 days a year has hurricane force winds. The conditions there at times are similar to Antarctica.

That said, kids in flip flops complete the hike all the time. It's only when things go wrong, that they go wrong very quickly.

Check the forecast, and had a set of extra layers in case the temps drop. Carry water, have good shoes, and some food, and you'll be fine.

Mount Washington?

Don't make me laugh.
There's a fucking road to the top.

Get in trouble, just go hitch a ride down.
Fuckin A out, get real.

>>838838
It's summer so you should be fine. Especially with a silkweight sweat-wicking underlayer.

Also stop being so fat

damn negreo, too much shit

No shit, I love it when least coasters try to make that place out to be fucking Everest

these guys get it. Mt Washington is barely a zit on the earth's face. It's nothing like the real mountains in CA

Seriously, girls track teams train by jogging up it.

Next time buy some Genuine Gear BDUs.

They may have cotton but they dry up very quickly and they come PU coated. Also they are comfy as fuck.

The Elevation has very little to do with how dangerous it is. The weather is what causes problems. Remember it's much farther north than most California mountains, and you forget how much colder the Northeast is than the west coast. The west coast has extremely mild weather comparatively.

The weather at the peak is genuinely similar to Antarctica, and hurricane force winds are there 100 days a year. The highest wind speed ever recorded was there. It's nothing to laugh at.

It's not the climb or hike that's hard, you're completely missing the point, it's the weather that kills people.

>>839326
True this, the weather on Mount Washingtonis far worse than any single spot in California.

Wind chill of over 100 below zero happens often.

>>838894
because of the hat?

>>839209
Real mountains in CA?....what a terrible place to bring up when mentioning mountains.
>Montana
>Colorado
>Alaska
Those places have mountains true to the word, poor Californians thinking they live in the rockies. Smog must be getting to them

>>839409
This, it's not like California has the highest peak in the lower 48, and Montanas highest peak definitely isn't 117th

>all that gear for a 4 hour hike

>road to the top
>no guys you don't understand it's actually super extreme and death defying

>>839417
Do a little research, people die there nearly every year from being unprepared.

Your comment shows a lack of knowledge. As a previous anon stated, it's not the elevation or distance that is a problem, it's the weather.

I understand your simple mind hears "mountain", and you instantly assume that the only factor is elevation.

I know some mountains are taller. That's obvious. I know some hikes are longer. What you don't understand is that makes no dofference.

The weather is the problem. The mountain has some of the world's most extreme weather, including the highest wind speed EVER recorded.

The area could be completely flat and people would die, it's not the mountain that is a problem. It's the WEATHER.

In fair weather the hike is easy, it's no problem. It's when the weather turns bad in the off season or outside summer season that it becomes a problem. It catches people who are unprepared.

We are simply telling OP to be prepared.

To be quite honest, it's people like you that die on Mt washington.

>>"there's bigger mountains in California"
>>temps drop 40 degrees in an hour

>>anon thought "but muh muh califernia mountens was higher"
>>anon dies.

>dude it's so extreme
>you could die at any second
>the only thing more dangerous than shark rodeo and train surfing is doing a day hike up a 6k foot peak where it can be windy sometimes

Yikes, look at these poor souls

It's so traumatic and deadly that when they were preparing to meet their maker they decided to laugh and make a silly youtube video

Motherfucker I live off the grid in Vermont.

It's August, theres a road to the top, and Mt Washington and all of the whites will be crawling with idiots from now till the leaves are done turning.

If OP can die on Mt Washington, good on him.

I mean fuck, I've ripped up that road at night on a dirt bike.

Dildo can survive a hike in August.

You don't know anything. CA is God tier and 1000X anything your state has.

East coast is utter shit tier. NH is like a 5 out of 10. Really, whining about the big bad wind on a little hill you can drive up?

So it's like Canada? Sounds like a normal winter to me.

>>839483
Yes, Mt Washington weather is similar to northern Labrador.

>>839483
>So it's like Canada? Sounds like a normal winter to me.
But it's super duper ultra mega NH wind though!!1

>splitting hairs on elevation
Nigger 12,000 feet is 12,000 feet. Granite Peak is considered the most difficult state high point to summit

this.

silly fagûts.

>>839917
I read that article.

They wrote a news article for a 139mph gust.

Mt Washington has winds over 200mph.

They have winds over 100mph many days a year.

The article states that in Montana 100mph gusts are rare.

They have hurricane for winds on average 110 days a year.

>>840009
They have hurricane force winds 110 days a year refers to Mt washington, not montana.
