Big Slide is one of the few High Peaks most accessible form the notorious Garden Parking Lot. This Lot can be incredibly difficult to get into, but some of the climbs from here like Big Slide and HaBaSa are highly desirable.

Big Slide, along with The Brothers that compose the ridge, is a moderate climb with a few tough scrambles and tons of great views. Although none of The Brothers are High Peaks, you should treat this climb as a multi-peak trek, that is very much how it feels.

Views of the Great Range and other peaks are expectational here, all across The Brothers and Big Slide. This ridge can get pretty busy and it’s worth noting that there is significantly more space on all The Brothers than there is on Big Slide.

• Parking at The Garden is very limited and notoriously difficult to get. You’ll want to get there as early as possible.
• This climb gets steep quick, so be ready to move consistently.
• The Brothers are pretty evenly paced out leading up to Big Slide, which means you’ll get pretty good views on a regular interval.
