Over the past several summers, Bailey and Brian and I have been exploring landslides that scour the mountainsides across the High Peaks. Many of our objectives come from the book “The Adirondack Slide Guide: An Aerial View of the High Peaks Region” by Drew Haas, which contains images of most of the major slides and their bestowed names.
Throughout the years, we’ve climbed over 100 slides, including some formed after the book was published in 2006. Of course, some slides are more enjoyable than others due to their grip, dryness, accessibility, and views. Slides such as the Lake Placid Slide on Whiteface, the Autobahn on Santanoni, and the Eagle Slide on Giant are all notable and frequented slides to name a few good ones.
