Mt. Pierce & Mt. Eisenhower via Crawford Path

I was planning to only do Mt. Pierce today, but when I found myself summiting it nearly an hour earlier than planned, and given the indescribably perfect weather, I quickly found myself lumbering towards Eisenhower as well.  Zero wind until that peak, not a cloud in the sky, and mid-teens all day.  Sitting at the summit and staring up at Mt. Washington just three miles up-trail–it was very hard to turn back. 10 miles / 5 hours.

Osceolas via Greeley Ponds

Osceolas Snow-Covered Summit

I decided to pick an easy hike today.  This would be my 4th and 5th summit in the past week, and I desperately needed to end on an easy note.

The Oseolas was an easy choice—two of the lowest peaks on the 4000′ list, and widely described as “one of the first hikes by the average peakbagger given how easy a summit it is.”

I never read past that part.

Mt. Liberty via Liberty Springs Tr

The hike was 6hrs 20min.  We were on the summit for 5mins.  For the other 375-minutes, the only thought running through my mind was, “What the hell were we thinking…”

Suunto Temperature Gage at Summit of Mt. Liberty

Conditions on the summit were close to -20 degrees, and given wind of around 20-30mph, the wind chill was closer to -50.  Before the final ascent, we quickly switched layers and grabbed a bite to eat.  While my googles were on my forehead, condensation formed, and before I could pull them back down, I had a thick layer of ice on the inside of the lens.  The conditions required them, so I had to hike for 30 minutes with them on (maybe one-foot of visibility) to try to melt the ice.  Every time the ice started melting, I would whip out a cloth, and before I could rip the goggles off my face and wipe the lens, the condensation instantly refroze.  I practiced the art of profanity heavily over the course of the next hour.
