GOING TO TUX,, have a question...

[NtrentT]

Hey,

Im planning on taking a trip to tux in about 2 or 3 weeks..

What do u think about the temperature? For a day hike what can i expect?

What should I bring?

only did it in APRIL and i had like 52 lbs..

I want no more than 15 for this tirp

Can it be comfortably done?

Take a camera.

15pnds outta be enough to carry enough warm gear. The Mt. Washington site has the almanac weather - RR should know, he just quoted the Camels hump alamanac type weather, but checking the weather before you go would be the real key.

If you're lucky it'll snow :)

15 pounds could be okay, provided all your stuff is light. If the Sherman Adams Building is open you can get water refills at the top. That will help with the weight. I check here: http://www.weatherunderground.com/US/NH/Mount_Washington.html for the forcast...check the details on your intended day, watching as the date grows closer how the details change....bon chance!

Lifetime stats on the rockpile: way over 50% :bluebird:

Found this page for ya:
http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/normals.html

Shows the "normal" weather for each month, but like RR said, check the weather close to when you go and you'll know what to expect.
