    Alittle spooky. A lot of fun. I enjoyed the summit audio. Put the adventure in perspective.

    Nice job! The piles of trees at the bottom are debris from the new Algonquin slide (Hurricane Irene, 2011), the one clearly visible over to your left as you climb the Airplane. The debris actually diverted the brook from its original course, which is what you were following just before you hit them.

    Beautiful scenery. That is some hardcore hiking right there.

    I climbed it, last September. Right after I went atop Algonquin. In my opinion, Wright offers the better view, out of the two summits, even though it's lower. It was in the middle of the week and I was all by myself on top of Wright peak.

      Thanks man, I’m going to be trying to document thoroughly all the slides I could possibly get my hands on. Three in the queue already. Every two weeks will be a New Slide Climbing video in the park

      I have a lot more research to do. But I’m using his list of slides he has climbed to give guidance. Looking at different ones every week haven’t looked at the whole picture yet but using him as guidance to plan the next ones. Lots of research to do

  • @bigburdi

    Serious question, I loved the video, but I often see you reminding people to stay off the alpine vegetation on the summits, what do you do to balance the summit Bushwack with the alpine vegetation conservation?

    • @BrianHikesAllDay
      @BrianHikesAllDay  2 роки тому +1

      The stuff I am walking on is not the fragile alpine vegetation. I’m simply only walking through the spruce. When the fragile alpine vegetation is around I am rock hopping around it to avoid it.

    • @BrianHikesAllDay
      @BrianHikesAllDay  2 роки тому

      It’s very easy to identify. It’s pretty much all of the vegetation that grows on a bald summit outside of tree line. And there’s always enough rocks to hop around so It’s very easy to avoid in my opinion

      Well there was airplane wreckage on the specific hike but I opted not to film it. Off the top of my tired brain in the Adirondacks I’m really only thinking Marshall and Wright
