Barebooted to base of slide and then put on microspikes.

Ladder was just snow covered - not icy. Top half of ladder there is a huge tree on top of it but you can go to left easily.

There were many icy areas to navigate:

But the views from the summit were worth it:

Life is good!!!

On the descent we used some parachute rope to lower ourselves down an icy area.

Gothics was out in all its glory

Just an awesome day!!

Excellent pics keep it up please, we NH ites need to see the ADKS to know what we are getting into!!

 

[John in NH]

Great pics and looks like an awesome area. It'd be great to see more TRs like this from the ADKS. I'm another Granite Stater who's pretty clueless about what's over there.

Thanks for all the kind comments - the Adirondacks are AWESOME!!!!! They will be even better covered with 2 feet of snow. Happy Trails Everyone!
