Mount Washington is a challenge and summit not to be missed… now imagine linking it with 6 other peaks all above treeline and over 4,000’ tall. Stretching almost 20 miles with over 7,000’ of vertical gain this iconic traverse is typically executed in three days and involves a high level of physical fitness. World-class climbers have been using the Presidentials as a training ground for expeditions to the Himalaya, Alaska and other great ranges around the world. If you have some winter mountain experience and baseline mountaineering skills come learn first-hand what makes this traverse famous. Enjoy stunning vistas, undercast, alpenglow, and the beauty of the other-worldy alpine tundra along the way.
For individuals and small parties with a very high level of physical fitness, and prior winter experience in the mountains, the traverse can be accomplished in a long day. Very particular conditions are required to do the traverse in a day with the appropriate margin of safety. Our location in the heart of the White Mountains as well as numerous successful in-a-day attempts allows us to pinpoint the ideal conditions to accomplish this audacious mission.
