The Jordan Brothers first conquered the highest mountain in the Northeast - Mount Washington - on Labor Day, 2006, when they drove from Boston for a day hike for which they were woefully unprepared. On that day, the temperature at the trailhead was 70 degrees. When they reached the summit at 6,288 feet three hours later, it was 37 degrees without the windchill. Add a 47 mph wind and it was just above zero, and the summer clothing they had on made for an uncomfortable trip. As you can see in this picture, Phil was even wearing shorts!!!Steve summited Washington again in March of 2007, and decided that the winter hiking experience was something his brother had to experience. Flash forward to March, 2008, and come with the JBs as they take another shot at this fabled New Hampshire peak. Forgoing a summit trip, they and their friends Alec Cyr, Tom Nelson, and Kurt Anderson use crampons and ice axes to scale Tuckerman’s Ravine to watch Alec take on the slopes on his snowboard.
