As the highest peak in the northeastern United States, New Hampshire’s Mount Washington is beautiful but dangerous. In this season one segment of “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 102), we join experienced climber and photographer Joe Lentini for a discussion about the mountain’s unique weather patterns and wind-shaped ice formations, followed by a taste of what it feels like to stand in hurricane-force winter winds. We also visit the Mount Washington Observatory, where weather conditions are meticulously recorded. Experience the thrill of standing in the midst of the windiest place in the United States.
