It's quite a remarkable place! I went hiking here back in September, 2006. When you start at the ground, it's like any other place in north east, pretty mild late summer type weather. Hike is about 4 miles and it's just amazing transition between those 4 miles (about 4000 feet elevation gain) from mild summer to extremely cold temperature with very strong wind.
I'd love to see this for myself! It sounds like a cool experience! No pun intended
Yeah that actually sounds really neat
That's not always the case. Normally it's just the difference between sea level and 6000 feet. Always cooler with a bit more wind. Did you just hike up the road?
I hiked it when I was 12 with my mother it was very fun and worth the view the wind was crazy but not as bad as the record sign showed which I think was 60 something mph ???
Bro your like sooo good at writing or telling stories. I felt like I was there for a second. In a small heaven.
Edit: maybe it’s the weed but still your comment got me somewhere else and I didn’t expect that
My dad worked on top of Mount Washington back in nineteen thirty-eight and thirty-nine and describe the living conditions on the top of the rock pile as it's called he told me that many a day the wind blew over 100 miles an hour making it virtually impossible to go outside because of wind chill a friend of his by the name of uncas was actually blown over the side of the mountain and went down about 300 ft and live to tell about it
Thanks for this story. I imagine these workers back in the day. They had skills. Not all the modern tools, clothes etc. Hardy people 🤗

They must have build this at night when the wind was sleeping
dont do it true
The wind never sleeps there
dude.. just stop.. you're embarrassing yourself.. (jk)
That actually made me laugh 🏅
nah actually in the summer its only on average 10-30 mph each day but in the winter its 60-90. according to google weather, it's 26 rn.
My Pops always told a story to me when I was younger about how he and an old friend hiked Mt Washington when a sudden windstorm struck-- blinding snow gusts out of no where. They barely made it down, and by that time my Pop's friend was almost completely snowblind. The combination of intense sunshine with the wild windy weather apparently makes this a truly surreal environment. Always thought Pops was exaggerating, but now I see he was actually underselling the whole thing entirely...
We were chased off the top by snow squalls in August, all of us in shorts,tshirts and fair weather boots and sneakers. It was THE most treacherous decent I've ever dealt with. How none of us broke a bone or got hypothermia is beyond me. No exaggeration neccessary.
My Washington is a surprisingly dangerous mountain to hike for exactly this reason. The weather can catch you out at any time. Glad it turned out ok!
Is this referring to Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island?
@@Hotsauce-cj7kj No, New Hampshire, USA
@@mtadams2009 thanks man!
The station, the railing, the cement blocks: How did they build all this crap here in the first place?

30 years ago in July I hiked the mountain with my kids wearing just T shirts. It was 95 & calm at the base but quite chilly & windy (around 65 degrees & 40 MPH wind) at the summit
We do have relatively nice summers
There’s a road to the top, apart from all the five year olds walking up with boxed lunches.

The real question is, how they managed to build that building in that really windy environment?
built it during the night
@Human from Earth then, how they build the bigger building? Wasn't it make more difficult because bigger area to hold the wind?
They have definitely build that building in the absence of wind.
Now you guys will ask where was the wind.
The wind was out on a date with the rain.
@@Sablenk87 they just made a bigger building to protect the big building to protect the building
It's not always windy like that everyday. Certain times throughout the year there able to get things done when the wind allowed them too.
"Quick! Hammond, deploy your parachute.", said Clarkson.
It can also be mentioned that Mount Washington is the highest peak in New Hampshire and also the second highest peak in the Eastern United States, just slightly behind Mount Mitchell in North Carolina... although Mount Washington starts out at a lower elevation therefore has a much higher vertical rise, so you know you are on a mountain!!!
It's not the second highest peak in the East, there are 13 peaks higher in Tennessee and North Carolina and 34 total peaks over 6000 feet in the two states. It is the only peak above 6000 feet in the remainder of the Eastern U.S outside of Tennessee and North Carolina.

I hiked to the top. You get above the tree line. Wind isn't always there. However, I watched a front move in from Canada (thanks, Canadians) and it went from Sunny and mild to dark, cold & sleet. New Hampshire crazy weather there. About 200 yards below the summit, the Sun was out and the temperature was warm again.
I'd bring a pair of wings and see where my luck takes me.
most likely a fatal impact at highspeed with nearest solid object.
It will take you stright up and you will never come down.
Chances are, you'll meet a tree like every game with wing suits

When I was an ordinary seaman in the Navy, the second officer of the watch thought it was a good idea to send me out in 80 knots wind to check the running lights. A few feet from the bridge doors, I blew away in the wind. If it had not been for the 50 cal mount, i'd be a goner today. It took the petty officer of the watch and the quartermaster a good 15 minutes and a big stick to get me back inside.

Climbed to the summit with a group , summer 1967. An adventure I'll never forget
I’ve actually been outside in wind that was the equivalent of a category 3 hurricane in the Columbia River Gorge. You can barely walk against wind that strong. That wind was so strong that it was literally bouncing the shocks on my car up and down while parked. It was sort of like driving on a really bouncy road, but the car was completely stationary.

Dear New Hampshire. I lived there for 5 years and loved every second of it. Now I'm back in the UK.
I can remember leaning into the brisk Northern Alberta wind when I was young.
The question remains... how did they build this place?
With robots of course! ^^
in the summer...
Noah Bourns there is still snow and it's still extremely windy but yes they did do it during the summer back in the 70s early 80's and it wasn't easy I ski this mountain all the time it's in New Hampshire where one day it could be 90 degrees and the next day 3 inches of snow on top of mount Washington it's even worse even tho it's 6k feet up it's still is moody when it comes to wind it's record is around 295 to 300 mph
Jesse Deveneau I live in NH, have hiked it 3 times, driven up the auto road 4 times and have skied it twice. The wind record was only 231 mph, not 295-300, and the highest temperature ever recorded was a mere 72 degrees.
Noah Bourns talking in km/ph but yes

The second time I went up Washington it was even windier than it was here. It held at around 70-80 for a couple of days (3-day double overnight at the lake of the clouds hut about 1.6 miles from the summit where he is in this clip) with a peak gust of 92. It was the summer, so it wasn't going to give us frostbite or anything, but it was definitely brisk for early August.
Those winds are no joke - we had to lean into the wind just to stay still and you would travel a couple feet if you hopped. I remember one time where somebody was trying to adjust their pack and a spare trash bag (they're good for rainproofing the interior of your frame pack if you get caught inside of a raincloud) got loose. Caught just the tiniest bit of wind and bam, already 50 feet away by the time we had time to react.
I have hiked and skied this mountain many times. I have been on it with 90 mph wind for a very short period of time, twenty minutes or so and I have hiked it on a beautiful October day with the temps in the low 70s with almost no wind and everything in between. The White Mountains are a magical place. If you hike this mountain please be in very good shape and plan for the worst. Many people have died on Mt. Washington taking it lightly because it’s not a massive Western mountain. Have a great hike or ski.
What does one do if, dressed 4 the elements, u need to pee?
@@susanmargaretwills6432 use the restroom that’s at the top lol. Mt. Washington is very touristy so there are lots of facilities at the top.
@@susanmargaretwills6432 this mountian in the winter can be compared to denali ive heard, im hiking it next month and in the summer its a pretty nice mountian from what ive heard ,however in the winter it gets absurdly dangerous
@@acadiant2756 A little late to the game but the weather can be brutal any month of year. I man died of hypothermia last June trying to summit. If the weather looks bad tune around and don’t give it a second thought. Most people have never experienced the kind of weather this mountain can bring. This all said it can also be a wonderful hike and your chances are good often run the summer months. My most beautiful day was in October of 1997, no wind and low 70’s. Take care and enjoy your hike.

This happens on my sliding door in the States; around 5F/-15C or lower will do. It's not perfectly sealed, so it gets incredibly cold and can seal itself in ice, even in a comfortable room with central heating.

My friend from Colorado scoffs at most New England "mountains", but she considers Mt. Washington worthy.
I've always wondered about how tall it used to be. The Rockies and Himalayans are less then 100 million years ago. The Appalachians have been eroding for 440 million years! They have also been ground down by repeated glaciations. How high did it once reach?
No idea. The Appalachians are pretty wacky anyway, they're the oldest mountain range on Earth iirc, and you're not gonna find a lot of recognizable fossils because they existed before living things evolved bones
@@JetFalcon710 It's a funny thing to think about really, as the Appalachians are still upwards of 2 km tall, but there are older 'mountain ranges' but they are all shorter. I live by a 'mountain range' that's 500-600 million years old but only tops out at 600 meters.

@@cageordie no, not typical american construction...
@@jakelavaclaw2759 It's true tho, Americans tend to build very flimsy houses. The idea is that a house is supposed to last about as long as the owner's life, maybe their children's, after which it's demolished and a new one is built. This is why hurricanes keep destroying every small house, while doing nothing to the tall, sail-like skyscrapers.
@@lred1383 uh, maybe because skyscrapers cost tens of millions of dollars, and small houses in the ghetto are cheaply built, infact idk what you're talking about, my house was made to last a long time, and has a strong foundation, this isn't that irregular for american housing.
I’ve walked up that mountain a few times. If you live in New England part of USA it’s a popular hiking mountain. It’s cold at the bottom and as you go up you put on more and more layers until you’re in torrential weather, then as you come down the mountain you take off mostly everything and at the bottom you’re in a tee shirt and shorts again and it feels like summer

Is BBC telling me that Richard Hammond is heavier than a small building? 🤯
By volume and surface exposed to the winds, he sure is a lot heavier
Small building do you mean crappy wooden shed? It also takes a lot more to push living thing because they're pushing back and moving forward
Hammond has a far better aero dynamic shape then a shed. If it is Clarkson, he will be took off.
@@Xighor umm no, it mostly has to do with the air resistance and his surface area as well as his mass. İt has nothing to do with his movement.

I was a merchant mariner as well as a yacht rigger and sailed a lot of boats and anything over 35 is heavy weather sailing with 50 being no joke under reduced sail, sea anchor or hove-to
@No Quarter
On sailboats the rigging went from a whistle to a hum, that's when we knew it was 40 +.
On the tugs we had big standing rigging supporting the nav light/radar mast and,
... one time steaming west on the East River, in the notch behind a light barge, entering NY harbor, when an alert to mariners came over the emergency channel there was a micro burst squall coming thru.
By the time we hit the North Basin, dispatch told us all the docks piers and anchorages were full, so we turned North seeking good bottom somewhere east of the channel off of Riverside/Harlem, a couple of miles before GW Bridge.
We get to the spot to see we're the last t2i arrive and everybody is anchored tite with barely the swing room, the wind now a steady 30, gusting 40, and yup the rigging humming.
I'm on the bow with the barge hand and he drops the anchor but it won't set, bringing it up the bottom is mud.
Time's short, we slide back, at the minimum space to the boat behind us. We drop, payout out cable, it seems to grab but the rode is too short for a heavy blow... so wes all on edge ready to do what little we can if it goes to shit.
The burst comes through as predicted, roaring down tge Hudson, turn late April late afternoon into dark... and that's when all hell broke loose.
Sorry gotta go. The wife is calling. Maybe I'll finish it later.

Imagine Going To Mt Washington On Friday It was -47 with a wind chill of -109 with winds at 103 MPH At There Peak Its A Whole Another Level Of weather There
Hiked up this mountain in August. It was 75F and sunny at the bottom. By the time we got to the top, it was ~35F and blowing wind/rain so hard you had to shout to be heard by the person next to you.
We took the train down.
Fun fact
They build this place by placing some kites somewhere else to distract the winds from attacking
Such a great image.
Brilliant
"Astounding, Holmes!"
Sadly winds were not that much literate so boom
Such an underrated comment indeed. lol
All i can imagine now is at 3:27 Jeremy Clarkson commenting: "It's astonishing that the smallest living organism in the world is able to sustain the world strongest wind."
Bacteria are technically organisms so of course they can survive wind
oh lord
I read that in Jeremy Clarkson's voice and so did you

I'm more impressed by the sound isolation of that boom mic.
"[Continues to almost fly away in the wind]" lol I love subtitles
For some reason I kept expecting him to race some sort of vehicle...

Y’all need to find better builders
The shed and fence looked like it was glued together with white Elmer’s glue
You don’t know anything about wind
Ah yes nails are "Elmer's glue"
It was FlExTaPeD
I mean, looked like they had no foundation or support beams

I live in Cut Bank, Montana, the windiest and coldest place in the state. We average at around 25 to 35 mph for a normal day. It does get up to 70 with 85 gusts with a wind storm. Glacier county has been over 90 with gusts close to 100 just last year. That happens on very rare occasions, and mostly located on or near the mountain front.
I can’t imagine dealing with that kind of wind at that high of an altitude! Extremely cold wind chill!!!!
I've been up tp the summit twice. The first trip was chilly with a cold wind, somewhat cloudy, and not a good day for viewing from the top. The second time it was clear and sunny, the view was great and there was enough wind to rock the small pick-up that we were in as we sat in the parking lot near the edge. That trip was in May and there were still people up there skiing.

Building: moves
Subtitles: *bye bye building*
🤣🤣
I should have put: HAMMOND, YOU IDIOT!
That (bye bye building) got me dying of lol
I hiked up this mountain when I was in high school in August, and the wind was STILL blowing around 20 mph
