Emptying the inbox: Marist alums at Mt Washington

Emptying the inbox, part 1: I got this email and photo from Tom Lipari almost a month ago and I’m finally getting around to posting it. Pretty cool that: a. these guys have remained so close (a bunch of them got together over the recent holiday weekend for some revelry); b. they have remained fit enough to scale Mount Washington. Anyway! Here’s Tommy’s email:

This past weekend a couple of Marist Track alum made the climb to the peak of Mt.Washington in New Hampshire which is the highest peak in the northeast (6,288 ft!). It is also known to be

the most windy place on the planet with recorded wind gusts of up to 254 mph! Overall, up and down it took about 7.5 hours. (We are still in shape!) We were able to see some amazing scenery along the way as the weather was perfectly clear. (Although it was 35 degrees at top). Needless to say I am still sore 4 days later but it was well worth the trip! Next stop, Everest!
