That seems more then steep if it is. Does it look worse because the shot is taken from afar?

Im planning on attempting this hike on the weekend if its dry and I have been surfing for days for good views of the trail. That link doesnt seem so much a trail but a true rock climb. As always any info will be welcomed


Thanks

That is a slide on Flume. That is not the Flume Slide trail, which is in the woods to the right of that open slide.

This is about as bad as it gets:

This is looking down the slide that you linked to:

ahh after reading scores of trip reports I came to the realization that many people had thought the same thing as I. Is the actual slide able to be climbed? No that I would be interested none the less.

Sure, pretty much every slide in the Whites has been both climbed and skied. Some are technical and require you to know what you are doing. This is one of those.
