This aerial photo of Mount Washington, taken on June 9, 2003, shows the prominent
North Ridge (shown in green). This is the most popular route to the
7,794-foot summit and takes climbers from the Big Lake area up a wooded trail to
the scree covered ridge and finally to the Summit Pinnacle. From that
point, the climb is several hundred feet of Class 5 rock climbing and
scrambling. Mount Washington is not a day hike!
