Wright Slide 9-16

[Neil]

I'll be doing this slide on Friday if anyone's interested. This is what it entails:

• Hike to Kagel LT about a half mile S of Marcy Dam. (1 hour)
• Cross Marcy Brook and head downstream to Wright Brook. (10 mins)
• 2 1/2 hour bushwhack following Wright Brook. (2 1/2 hours)
• Turn right at a cairn and head up to the slide. (10 mins.)
• Easy-medium slide climb for 30-45 mins. Dynamite views. (45 mins)
• 10-15 mins. of industrial grade cripplebush to summit cone. (15 mins)

Total time should be 5 hours from Loj to summit so I'll plan on 6. From Wright to Loj dos 2 hours sound right?

That would mean leaving at 8 and getting back at 4.

I would definitely be in for this one again(especially because I want an honorable mention in your project)--but it turns out that my bday is the 16th. I was going to go hiking on the 17th, but one of my friends is surprising me with something that I have never done before. I have no idea idea what that may be, but I'm pretty stoked. I will be there on 10-1 without a doubt.
