Route: Cascade Slide Loop (NY)

This is the winter-only cascade slide mountaineering route, starting and finishing at the cascade trailhead.  The route starts with traveling 73 from the trailhead to the cascade access road between cascade lakes, then ascends the Cascade Ice climbing route (WI2) and continues up Cascade Slide to the summit, with a bushwhack before reaching the summit dome.  The route then descends the hiking trail back to the trailhead.
