Popular Objectives

Bennies Slide on Lower Wolfjaw and the Bottle Slide on Giant are two of the most popular introductions to this uniquely Adirondack style of mountain travel.

We have guided many folks looking to experience the excitement of slide climbing, one of the most uniquely Adirondack ways to move through the mountains. These routes combine hiking, scrambling, and exposed rock travel in a way that feels both wild and memorable.

They offer a great first step into Adirondack scrambling while still delivering the sense of movement, terrain, and exposure that makes slide climbing so special.

Groups of more than 2 people are possible depending on the objective. Please get in touch with us to discuss options.
