Success is in the trying.
Whether or not you reach your destination,
Failure is never having taken the first step.

Nice shot. Is that Mt Washington?
Good eye!
I should add that we were on the Boott Spur Trail, and that big ditch in the photo is Tuckerman Ravine.
I’ve lived in NH for over 10 years and have hiked Mt Washington but have never been up to Tuckerman’s Ravine. I should put it on my 2015 Bucket List. I hear it’s fun when the skiers are coming down the head wall.
I’ve been up in Tuck’s several times, usually in the early Spring and usually for sunrise. This past summer was actually the first time I’d ever seen the Ravine without snow. It looks very different, that’s for sure.
Yes, it is quite popular with the dedicated ski crowd. I say dedicated because it’s a 3+ mile hike to the base of the bowl. And then you have to climb the headwall. All with your skis in you back. I hope to photograph the ski scene this coming year. The last few times I’ve been there the weather has been so bad that we not only missed our sunrise, but the skiers too.
Awesome as usual !
You’re too kind TMG, far too kind. 😉

Looking back at the summit on the way down to the car. What a memory, Great Post, Beautiful Photo.
Actually, we were still on our way up when I made this shot. We took a much shorter route down as my friend was quite tired from the climb. And the 2:30 a.m. start time 😉
So true, Jeff!
He was still a few hours away from the triumph and joy of the summit ….. and probably not the easiest hours of that day
Oh no, not even close. That last push up to the summit looks deceptively close, and not very steep. Very wrong on both counts.
