There is a group of folks who are tentatively planning on an attempt of Washington at the Winter Gathering. Read the Gathering threads for more information . . .
The conditions on any given day would dictate the difficulty of the hike and so it is hard to guess how one would measure up with another . . .
I had a BEAUTIFUL day and an entire group of wonderful friends for my Washington winter summit day and so it seemed like Monroe and Washington were a breeze but I am sure changing conditions could have made them a nightmare as well.
Good Luck and see you on the trails . . .
