Mount Washington — Friday, Jul. 24, 2020

This is a scramble, not a hike. MT WA starts from an inconspicuous tread out of the parking lot and starts heading uphill immediately. The tread heads uphill over rocks, earth and roots and at this point meanders up, over & around the ridge & remaining snowfields. It passes house size rocks, loose talus, through rocky gullies, and sketchy ledges, it passes an excellent ridge-top campsite that appears to have excellent views when it isn't fogged/clouded in. The final summit scramble requires the use of hands, but isn't too tough. Located on the lofty perch of the summit is an newish summit register left by the Olympia Mountaineers. Thank you, Oly MOUNTAINEERS! This is a great scramble! Two other parties of 2 on the mountain, masked up, easy social distancing.
