bushwhack to Cornell-Slide col Date Climbed: Aug 27, 2009
Started at the camp ground and crossed the Woodland Valley stream on the trail Bridge, but I almost inmmediately left the trail for an unmarked and fading trail to the right. I next had to skirt the private property- a slippery bit of side-hilling- before I dropped into the Woodland Valley Stream drainage. A very nice ridge climb leads to the Cornell/Slide col. See trip report this page for more details.
Climbed with Slide and Wittenberg via the Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide Trail from Route 47. Had a blast climbing the ledges during the traverse from Slide. Not many views on the summit but had a great view of Slide from the trail as the clouds blew by.
Bushwhack Range Dayhike Date Climbed: Dec 29, 2007
This was a fun one to do in the winter. A group of us dayhiked the "Bushwhack Range" with a car drop, hitting eight peaks: Peekamoose, Table, Lone, Rocky, Balsam Cap, Friday, Cornell and Wittenberg.
Remember having a very nice day on a spring day during my 3500 Club quest. Hiked over Wittenberg first and upon reaching the summit of good 'ole Cornell, I had to stop and wait about 10 minutes until a porcupine decided he'd spent enough time on the peak.
along with Wittenberg and Slide I climbed Cornell on the same day as part of fantastic loop hike. It's some fun hiking from Wittenberg to Cornell, and from Cornell to Slide.
