 | Comments: |
The North Slide is covered to an overwhelming degree with varying qualities of ice and hard snow. Sporadic dry patches of rock ensure any slide will become a very lengthy and deadly tumble. Bushwhacking is a poor option, with up to chest-deep postholing a frequent reality. In short, the trail is very dangerous, due to its treacherous nature, and is best avoided for the time being. |
