First off are my distances correct? Second since the times are about comperable if they are correct which of the two would be easier?
Thanks
Kevin Rooney said:My hats off to bobandgeri for reaching N. Peak in 3 hours - they must have been flying. I usually leave my pack on North, go over & back to Middle, and then have a bite to eat in the opening on North. I rate the Tri's as one of the tougher trips to do the winter, certainly in the top 10.
I have also done this bushwhack but with only one other person, a woman nearly done with the W111. Of course we had to break it out and it took over 10 hours, fortunately found well-packed trail at ridge.dms said:There is a fairly "easy" bushwack route from the west...The woods were wide open, and although there were a couple of steep parts, overall it was a direct and short way to do them.

I have been up S Slide 4 times and it is not that bad, wore snowshoes sometimes but never crampons. Twice went down Scaur Trail and twice bushwhacked near slide.Woody48 said:Has anyone done the North and South Slides during the winter? I was thinking about taking a look at them. I figure that they would be about a grade WI 2 ice/snow climb.
