    70 mph winds would be recorded in Observatory Tower -- up in the parapet. That is 60 feet above the observation deck. Winds below the tower fall off exponentially. You may have experienced winds gusting to the 40s but nothing higher. People often overestimate wind speed.

    NICE NICE nice video, thank you ! You DID make a nice hike in a nice wilderness, and you DID make it to manage your expedition right, take sound good decisions in time, when you felt that the weather conditions, your gear, clothes and overall preparation wouldn't allow you to summit MT Washington that particular day in a safe and comfortable manner. So the decision you then made was the RIGHT decision and your hike was a beautiful SUCCESS.

      @@kevandjess5737 Amongst the facts which are little heralded in the White Mountains is altitude sickness. Although nobody should normally die from altitude sickness alone on Mt Washington, the altitude there is high enough to give mild altitude sickness symptoms to anyone being already slightly exhausted, dehydrated, thirsty, hungry OR overfed, injured or sick with any other condition. At the top of Mt Washington, air oxygen content is reduced by 21% as compared to sea level and along the way up, it starts at 93% of normal oxygen concentration and gradually gets down to just 79 %. Meaning we have to breathe 5 times to get the same amount of oxygen in our blood which we would normally get breathing only 4 times at sea level, making us just slightly more out of breath. While this phenomenon may go completely unnoticed, when everything runs fine, it may be the huge difference which actually contributed to KILL so many people finding themselves on Mt Washington in extreme conditions and possibly ill-prepared to face them. Proper body hydration is all the more important then to keep our blood very liquid, well fluid, and help it flow nicely in tiny blood vessels. A lot of people suffer and/or die from strokes and AVCs at high altitude, body dehydration being then clearly a contributing factor. This phenomenon is worsened by the fact that a normal body adaptation to altitude and lack of oxygen is blood-thickening, an increase in the blood red cells content to try to make up for decrease oxygen content of air. This increased content of red cells in our blood makes the blood all the more viscous and more prone to blockages, that is blood-clotting in tiny arteries, so proper hydration then is all the more important to try and avoid such condition to develop.

    You made the right call to turn around, Mount Washington is a beautiful mountain that many high end mountain climbers underestimate because of its height. It is known as the place with the worst weather in the world for a reason. Great Video!
