Terrifying 25: North Slide to Tripyramids, Whiteface & Passaconaway!

- We met up with our friend Ryan to climb the North Slide to North Tripyramid, Middle Tripyramid and we traversed over to Whiteface and Passconaway finishing 4 new New Hampshire 48 high peaks! Ryan left his car at the end point so this traverse was possible. Otherwise I think it was about 10 miles in between trail heads and it was all uphill! North slide was probably one of my favorite ascents up any mountain. From the bottom of the slide you are at about 2400 feet of elevation. And then you climb up to about 4180 feet in a 1 mile stretch. In this stretch you climb 1200 feet in a single half mile. It’s pretty amazing and it’s extremely exhilarating and rewarding and it’s literally a real life playground. Make sure you have some energy in you because it burns up a lot of energy! The views from the slides were just breathtaking. Once you get to the top of the slide you enter the woods and have another quarter mile to the summit. The summit is mostly wooded with a small viewpoint. The trail over to middle and south Tripyramid are very mild and smooth terrain that you could move quick on if you wanted. Getting off South Tripyramid you go down very steep terrain. I believe it’s a section of south slide which is also on the terrifying 25. You go down a little bit and then you go left and go over The Sleepers. The terrain from the Sleepers over to Whiteface doesn’t look traveled often. A lot of overgrown grass and weeds covering the trail but the terrain is extremely smooth throughout the entire day and not many rocks. It was almost therapeutic for my feet! Whiteface has gorgeous views and beautiful Summit rock to sit on. You’re on a beautiful ridge walking over towards Passconaway with views to the right hand side! When you finally get near Passconaway The last quarter mile or so is pretty much straight up. Lots of rocks and scrambles. There are several lookout points on the summit and they are well worth checking out. The true summit is a little Carin on the top center of the mountain in the woods it’s like 100 feet off the main trail so make sure you don’t miss that little spur! Coming down and back to the car was insane steep for the 1st mile but then levels out and becomes extremely easy to walk on at an extremely fast pace if needed!

I remember so clearly that day!! I am reliving through you! So much fun!!!
Cool, steep and sketchy. Great video, great hike. Never heard of the Terrifying 25.
Outside Chronicles I am 100% sure that I am going to be working on that as soon as I finish the 48 but the kicker is that a lot of the hikes I have to do for the 48 can include a terrifying 25 so I’ll be able to kill two birds with one stone
I did this when there was snow in may 2020. I actually thought I was going to die
😂😂
Haha you two make me die laughing every time! My goodness ya'll are fearless. Def the best NH hiking content I have seen on CZcams thus far. keep killin it
Thank you sooooo much!!
Looked fun. Excellent video, nice job.
Mark Cummings Thanks Mark! It was an absolute blast and I had a lot of fun putting this video together.
That slide looks effing amazing!
It was incredible!
Wow!! Beginner hiker here! They’re not kidding when they say Terrifying 25. Thanks for sharing, this one looks real hard but it must be very rewarding.
Even for a very experienced Hiker this was extremely rewarding. This was probably my second favorite trail ever to date so far
@@BrianHikesAllDay whats the first?
Trap Dike to Mount Colden in the Adirondack mountains
We used to hike mount Marcy all of the time. If you go to the Adirondacks again try Dix mountain. The last half mile or so is straight up a rock face. Your going to love it.
Gary Harnish Hey Gary! I am on my third round of the 46 now but I have left the area due to overcrowding for the moment till things settle back to normal. I love all of the trails going up dix.. if you ever get a chance to browse the channel i got lots of good Adirondack content. I just completed a single season winter 46 in one month this winter! Is the specific trail you’re talking about the Beckhorn trail?
I hiked Passaconaway through the Blueberry Ledges Trail up Mt Whiteface, around the bowl and down Dicey's mill trail last fall for the first time. I remember we tried it in 2017 but the kids were younger it was a hot fall and we didn't have enough water. We gave up before the final scale up to Whiteface due to insuffucient water and we weren't in good enough shape. Tried again in April 2020 but failed again due to ice and being with a family with a bit younger child. Finally completed the hike last fall with my younger son who is very fit and strong but we worked on our physique the last couple years pretty intensely now that kids are older. Passaconaway from Ferncroft was the most challenging physical feat I ever did in my life. Been training all winter of course but glad to be looking forward to this next challenge it looks like it will be more difficult. Am looking to do this hike in a couple weeks hoping the ice will melt. Keeping an eye on the alltrails reviews for people to stop mentioning snow & ice.
Thanks for the video, incredible! Looks like a VERY challenging hike.
Great video. Years ago, my buddy and I went up the south peak, over to the middle, then down the north peak. Bad move. Additionally, we missed the trail and wound up going directly down the sheer slide. Luckily, we made it down ok, though at one point, I kicked up a rock that almost killed my friend. I still have bad dreams.
Hahahaha
Best TP trail vid to date. Nice job! I gotta revisit that one. :-)
Thanks man! Appreciate that.
That steep open stuff is my kryptonite. Maybe someday.
Richard Schott that is exactly what I live for. The harder the steeper the scarier the more fun! I’m glad you’re able to hike this alongside of me and watch it from the comfort of your home LOL
Just have to work up to it.
I knocked out Loon Lake, Azure and St. Regis on Friday so at least my vertical gain is getting there. 19/30 on the Fire Towers.
Thats a killer day man!! You totally got this in the bag. Just take your time and you will be fine!
Also, the fire tower challenge is only 23 fire towers. Five in the Catskills are mandatory and the rest you pick and choose from in the Adirondacks from the list
Just did the north slide today I 100% underestimated how steep it would be a adrenaline rush for shore so much loose rock up there too Def one of the sketchier summits I've done in the whites
Such an amazing trail!!
Where exactly did you access the Livermore Trail? Livermore Trail is an old logging road, but it looks like you guys entered it somewhere else? Very cool approach to the usual route most people take to get to the North Tripyramid Slide
Cla Plum Yeah when I was talking to someone who lives in the area he told me if I took that specific Livermore trail in that almost no one uses it anymore. It was so beautiful and I’m so glad we did it. I believe there’s more than one Livermore trail and this is the one that most people don’t use. At one point we did enter a logging road for about a quarter mile if I remember correctly
I just checked the map for you if you’re interested in taking the route we took in it is directly across the street from Lily Pond
The other end of the Livermore trail starts in Waterville Valley and is about 4.5 miles from the North Tripyramid junction. Very busy parking lot and lots of other foot and bike traffic. coming in the way you guys did is way better.
Another great video Brian, thank you very much! Insane climb up the slide, gorgeous views. Awesome job and a gentleman to carry Brittany’s pack. I got to know what you do for training!! Squats, bike, running?
Allen Porter I have been in the gym five days a week for probably the last 10 years so yeah I pretty much do everything including mountain biking etc. And hiking really big day is makes you super strong
Allen Porter I really appreciate your commenting on most of my videos and I really appreciate your support and watching and everything.
Cameo at the first summit from another NH CZcams duo
Thanks Kyle!
Another epic climb and video. The North Slide is one of my favorites! I assume you’ll do Huntington Ravine at some point?!
Jason MacLeod I’m going to do everything listed on the terrifying 25. This is the type of fun that I’m after
How many of the terrifying 25 have you done
Just 5 at this point as I work my way through the NH48. I’ve done Tripyramid Slides and Huntington, and then a few others. Huntington was like 20 years ago, so I may head back at some point. Just got back into hiking hard again last year, so focused on finishing the 48.
That is our main focus right now as well. We would like to work on and finish the 48
Definitely easier to stay on course and track one goal. Take the T25 as they come up. My buddy and I were supposed to do the extended Pemi loop over this past weekend. 2 nights and 3 days. He pulled/blew out his calf less than 2 miles in and couldn’t continue. We were literally .5mi up Osseo heading to Flume. Didn’t get any peaks that day. Real bummer.
Since you are doing the NH 48 are you going to go all the way and finish the NE115?
I say no currently but I’ve also learned to never say no because one of the funnest things about all these different mountains is constantly having somewhere new to see and explore. That’s kind of getting really far away from home and becoming a hassle at that point. Right now I feel as if the 48 and New Hampshire is going to be my limit for travel but who the heck knows I’m pretty sure I could take a weeks vacation each year and just bang out the other ones
@@BrianHikesAllDay Gotcha. Yeah Maine is a far drive although I believe Vermont has 4 of them and Slide/Hunter Mountains in the Catskills are two of the others
No way!!! I have done in Hunter Mountain!
Another great vlog! Tell me about your trekking pole use, looks like you don't use them. Is this to make it easier to blog or are you just not a fan?
Dallas DeVries My knees are flawless and they just get in the way IMO especially like you just mentioned for vlogging. I personally like to put the stress and fatigue on my leg muscles since I’m very into fitness. I like to work harder to make my legs stronger. I have kind of always been that way with hiking. I like to minimize things that help me and try to be able to hike these things as naturally as possible! Although in the winter I hike with trekking poles on every winter hike because they dramatically help breaking trail up mountains!
Awesome hike and incredibly amazing views! I'm curious, have you ever seen bear or moose? I'm going up next week, probably some car camping. I love photography and it's photography paradise through that whole region. I'm not into hiking though, wouldn't mind some short hikes for scenic photography. Can you recommend any places or short hikes with great scenery?
Thank you for your awesome videos Brian, I really enjoy watching them. Have a beautiful weekend!
John Shappell Unfortunately I think you’re pretty much going to have to hike your ass off to get any good views!
You could technically drive up to the summit of Mount Washington in the highest point in New Hampshire
@@BrianHikesAllDay Thank you for your input, really appreciate it. I will have to try to get into hiking because I love snow photography. I can take my time at first, hike as far as I can go and take my snow pictures. I will get in shape sooner or later, baby step approach, lol. I've been getting prepared for winter, buying sub zero clothing. Can you recommend a good gps tracking device that you need no wifi for? Thank you Brian!

@@BrianHikesAllDay Thank you!
I climbed whiteface in the Adirondacks.
Gary Harnish The much better Whiteface Hahahah
It truly is
Can this be done in January?. I just did the carters, wildcats and Willey on mon, tue and wed. I’m in a great shape but I’m a hiker not a climber.
I wouldn’t
Brian_Hikes_All_Day ok. Cool. Looking at your vid, I can only imagine what it must be like to hike up this time of year.
The wildcats were very challenging but doable and lots of fun.
1000 from me!
Woo whoo!! I will remember you forever my friend. Thank you so much!!
why don't you use a GPS tracking app that records your GPS position and elevation? It would be pretty interesting to see the GPS data while watching your hiking video.
Some of my videos i do onclude that.. Really all comes down to what i remeber to do while hiking and vlogging. Thank you for the input. Ill keep it in mind for future vlogs
You definitely capture the scenery very well...gorgeous. Serious question though, I was wondering where were your masks? It looked like you'd encountered a number of people especially on summits. Or was this pre-Covid?
My choice is to not wear a mask when I’m out hiking. If someone else is wearing a mask I will gladly step aside and give them their distancing. But most of the people I encountered on trail are just out having a good time without a mask. The chances of getting Covid out hiking are pretty much zero.
@@BrianHikesAllDay I appreciate your honesty. I will say that this choicd contradicts guidance from major outdoor and hiking organizations. I also see any content-producers/influencers as having a responsibility to promote solid outdoor ethics and Leave No Trace principles. LNT has even integrated guidance for Covid-19 into their 7 principles, including mask-wearing: lnt.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Covid-19-Social-update6-15-partners-small.pdf.
And organizations like the ADK Mountain Club have also been promoting the use of masks while hiking since mid-May, specifically when encountering others: www.adk.org/hiking-during-coronavirus/.
The least impact one can have is to don a mask when near or passing by others on trail, rather than stepping off the hardened trail surface onto vegetation.
One final thought, when you see someone wearing a mask, that person is mostly wearing it to protect you. I agree outdoor risk of transmission is low, but it's the very least we can do for our fellow person.
I enjoy your videos and hope you continue to have success climbing in the Northeast.
@Dennis Hart amen brother!
