I really want to CLIMB A MOUNTAIN, I have been using the search engine and havent find any CHALLENGING mountains around here.
with the search engine you can search by score rate but it is based on how pretty this wonderful places are no in the score of difficulty.
I lived in spain and argentina where I used to go to 5k meters and recently did couple 4300s in japan on winter, solo.
I would love to do the president transverse or go to north carolina but is too far for just three days.
Sough if you or somebody know if, around the dc area, are there some routes, that are more then a hike I would be welcome to follow the advise.
thanks very much

Agree with previous post on Seneca Rocks.
Sounds like you're looking for something more technical. As far as "mountains" go, your choices are probably limited around the D.C. area. Here's a listing of Mountains within 500 miles, sorted by height.

you'll have the get creative and make your own "challenge" though.
Check out the Delaware Water Gap, lots of "challenges" there this time of year. Also you may find something that suits you in the New York Catskill Range. Look at a winter traverse of Wittenberg, Cornell, Slide and Panther. That would be a nice challenging, semi-technical, 2 day loop with plenty of camp sites along the way.
Good luck!
