Description
The Finger Slide array in its 2014 incarnation was created during the second week of August in 1993. The Index Finger slide (aka New Years Resolution) is arguably the most popular of this set as it leads closest to the summit trail and sits conveniently at the end of the ‘wrist’ drainage at roughly 3,700 feet in elevation. It’s 200 feet wide with a large wall of vegetated debris at the bottom. The slide narrows at the top before the herd path.
Location
Park at the Round Pond trailhead on Route 73 to the “Wrist”, a hundred foot wide run of slab that cuts across the trail just before its steep ascent up Dix’ north ridge. Total mileage falls just short of 6 miles. This swath leads to the base of the Thumb, Index and Middle Finger slides.
The Index is second from the climber's right at the end of the "Wrist."
