I have the Tripyramids to tackle soon on my 4,000 footer list and I am wondering exactly how tough those slides are, particularly the ledges on North Tripyramid. The AMC guide makes them sound fairly difficult. I do enjoy steep trails and rock scrambles here and there and I am not overly afraid of heights. But I do hike alone and don't want to get into any predicaments. In past year or so I've done the Flume Slide Trail and Whiteface and in the past I've done the Huntington Ravine trail. Don't remember being "out of my element" on any of these trails. I have some issues on the sheer flat type ledges but overall I think I do OK.
Anyone have any advice, information or photos of the area? Are there ledges where I would need extended use of handholds, tall ledges (say 10'+) or any sort of special equipment like rock climbing shoes, rope, etc? Any info on the area would be much appreciated. Sounds like a demanding but extremely enjoyable loop trail. Thanks.
