Get ready to hike not one, not two, but three pointy summits on the Tripyramids in the White mountains this Sunday. Some people, including one of your trip leaders, say this is their favorite hike in the Whites! We will ascend on the North slide and descend on the South slide, giving us stunning views of the surrounding White Mountains as we go up and down the exposed slides. ~11.6 mi with ~3000ft elevation gain, some of which is at a steep incline.
Not for the faint of heart or those uncomfortable with scrambling up steep rock faces with significant exposure. You will be using your hands! Must have or rent appropriate trail runners or hiking boots.
We will be moving at a pace that is the fast side of moderate, so please be confident in your fitness level and ability to navigate White Mountains terrain.

Currently, weather looks to be dry, but wet rocks will cause us to modify the route.
