Any takers?

Are there any hunters on Cornell/Slide/Wittenborg area ? Saw some while climbing near the Ashoakan Reservoir many years ago.
have done cornell/slide/wittenborg in my day ... 14 miles now too much for my old legs. Last year , parked up by Winnisook Lodge and cheated up to top of Slide. Much easier starting at the lodge (2600' elev.) . Then drove over and did Giant Ledge in the same day. Great view into the valley from the ledge, and it's an easy climb. Lots of families.
If you ever visit the the Adirondacks, try a few of my favorite day trips: Giant Mtn (the big one at intersection of NY 9/NY73, hard to miss) or Algonquin PK (climb from parking lot at Heart Loj, 2nd highest in the state and very few hikers compared to Marcy). Further south out of the high peaks, Blue Mt is a real nice climb , has a tower on top also.
