hello,
i am a 32yo guy that has been skiing since like age 6 and recently started hiking. i like a challenge and was thinking of mt. washington. is this too much for a hiking beginner? i mean, i am in extremely good shape and so is my wife as we are in the gym 4-5 times a week. both very athletic.
we're kind of both adreneline junkies and i know we'll grow bored of long flat boring hikes.
thoughts?
DISCLAIMER: i like a challenge but i'm not insane and know my limits!!!
EDIT: when i say "bored" of long flat hikes i don't mean to sound cocky as we both love nature and scenery. what i mean is that we would love a challenge AS WELL AS hikes that are very easy with beautiful scenery.
if hiking to the summit of mt. washington is too much for a new hiker then i just need to be told by more experienced people. i don't want to head up there, start hiking, and end up in a sh!t load of trouble!!!
