Just wondering if anybody knows any history or where the Devil's Pulpit is in the Catskills? I'm reading Alf Evers book The Catskills: from Wilderness to Woodstock and I jumped to read the section of the history of the Devil's Path (Figure I'll learn a little history before tackling the thing as a dayhike)... Anyway, it mentions that the whole entire Devil's theme in the catskills centered around Stony Clove or what is now basically Rt 214 that runs north south through the notch... Anyway, the book mentions that the only thing that really remains as a landmark is the Devil's Tombstone which is also a NY DEC Campground.
It mentions the Devil's Kitchen too as being in the head of plattekill clove and I remember there is a Devil's Kitchen leanto but does anybody know anything about the Devil's Pulpit?
BTW, I haven't started to read the book but I've just been flipping pages and it looks to be an awesome book... I read the chapter on the Devil's Path and could not put the book down on this short chapter...

Perhaps this Devil's Pulpit seems to be a the top of the climb from 214 heading towards Hunter... Somewhere near the Devil's Acre leanto.

This devil guy really gets around! I wonder if he's a 3500'er?
