Lake of the Clouds hut is amazing!! So happy you are loving the Presidential range. It was so nerve racking watching you in that wind. Holy crap!!! Leo is a little trooper! ♥️🐾 Loved seeing you at the summit!! That weather can be very scary up on those summits. 🙏🏼 glad you made it safely!! Thank you God for keeping you and Leo safe! Jeez!!!!

Been there, done that - I call it 'exquisitely dangerous.' One 4th of July weekend, the winds were gusting to 98 mph and the wind chill was 2°. Had a couple of youngsters with me and they were regularly being blown off the trail multiple times. Welcome to the White Mountains. Be well, stay safe. 🥾

@cathyhall1338 10 дней назад

Glad you are safe and that you got some great views early in the day. It's not one of the deadliest mountains for nothing. If you are heading up in the Whites it's always best to check the Mt Washington Observatory higher summits forecast. Weather apps are not able to predict mountain weather- especially up there where things are extra volatile. I know you are already through there, but maybe it can help one of your viewers.

Mt. Washington with that weather and wind is legend especially with a bleeding tongue. Nothing is as dangerous on the AT as this section. We send you continued wishes and prayers for a safe journey and completion of your journey. The AT is a 2100 mile obstacle course plus frequent extreme weather challenges- you did it, Buddy! You probably needed stitches on that tongue! Fortunately, mouths heal pretty fast. Impressed by this video, very impressed.

Eshhh, that was crazy. That was a very challenging day. I hope you dont encounter that kind of wind again. The wind at 70 mph adds about 12.5 psf of wind pressure against your body. That's a lot added to the weight of your pack. Just so happy you guys made it through to a shelter. You must have really bit hard on your tongue for it to bleed all day like that. Hope you got it taken care of and you and Leo were able to rest up a bit before taking off. Be safe, my friends❤ ❤ to Leo ✌️🫶

My husband and I did Webster Cliffs to Jackson on the 25th and up the AT to Liberty on the 29th. Was thinking of and praying for you and Leo on both - steep and challenging. And the Wildcat Ridge is next! Hope you got a beautiful day - and did a lot of looking back to take in the view of Washington and the Ravines behind you. Hike on! And know that we are praying for you and Leo.

It’s so much fun to watch and know exactly where you are based on the views alone. I can still feel the bruise on my leg from wiping out on the CraPa just below Washington a couple weeks ago! 4 different weather patterns merge on top of Washington therefore it always creates its own weather patterns. You must be prepared for all weather situations during all seasons in the Whites. Glad you both are safe!

Weather apps don’t apply to elevation. We used to say “It’s a different world up there” after we had our own scary experience on a high ridgeline in North Carolina. Dangerous stuff.

Hi Mike and Leo, Sorry it wasn't a more magical day up on "the rock pile" for you. Mount Washington, is famous for having "The worst weather in the U.S." Highest wind speed ever recorded was up there at the MWO, 231 mph. Did you guys go in to the observatory and check it out? I'm just thankful that you two made it up and over safely, for the most part. You and Kara should come up to the Whites in early October for the foliage. You think the views are epic now???? (Next time, take the Cog or drive up LOL.) There's a lot to do up in the Notches, so make a week of it. Seriously!!! Again, I'm glad you're safe, please stay that way!. God Bless.
