Narrative:

Printed clearance was lga 2 departure runway 13 flushing climb. I mistakenly briefed (3 times) whitestone climb. Weather was very bad; snow rain mix with lots of delays. Traffic to the airport was very bad and first officer arrived a few minutes before departure. I did everything to set up for departure. We did all checklists and sat at end of runway for about 55 minutes before takeoff. I briefed the whitestone at the gate before push; and again twice while waiting for takeoff. I even underlined the flushing climb on the clearance. I took off and flew the whitestone climb and; because of a very astute controller; who noticed right away our mistake and corrected us; everything turned out fine. This was a human error on my part and I take full responsibility for it. The outcome was a good one because of the controller.
