I'm new to the area and planning to do Mt. Washington before the winter slows down. I am just wondering what gear is necessary - ie. do I need my helmet, rope, screws or pro? I am planning to follow the lions head winter route. Are there avalanche shoots along this route? It would be great if someone who has done it could give me a general description of what to expect. I've done a number of other peaks this winter, including adam's, but I have heard so many warnings about washington that I want to be sure i am prepared. Also, any suggestions for a good map that shows the route? Thanks!
