Beth, Juliet, Jim and I spent the night at Joe Dodge Lodge at Pinkham Notch on a rainy May Friday night in preparation for climbing Mt. Washington on Saturday. The AMC lodges are always fun to visit! The next morning we headed up the summer trail of Lion Head, and hit the summit about 4.5 hours later, amidst fog and 35 mph winds - that last hour was a challenge as we scrambled over the rocks. Once on top, the obligatory photos and then a cushy shuttle ride down to protect our joints from possible injuries. Wouldn't want an injury so close to Shasta! A good day. Notice the cool gear we sport from our Climb Against the Odds sponsors ISIS, Ibex, Leki and Osprey!
