Hiking Mount Washington
Could a novice hiker hike mount Washington?

I've hiked little haystack which is in the area, and i did the triple summit up there with no problem. I'm not an experienced hiker but I have youth and fitness on my side.

I've never done a hike that has required "hiking gear" and I don't know if this will.

Its infamous for erratic weather so I would say you shouldn't if you are a novice!
