Saw this on Hadley earlier this summer. I almost stepped on it. Lame cell phone pic.

Thanks for the words of congratulations and support. I should be out again around February if all goes well and much sooner for mellower hikes. I will be spending a considerable amount of my down time planning trips and shopping for winter gear to replace my old stuff from years ago. ;)

After years of injuries (mountain biking) family obligations, and medical issues I have finally completed the Catskill 35 three days before a surgery that will keep me from hiking for some time thanks to the kind hearted gesture of Tom and Laurie Rankin. I was highly motivated to finish the...

Thank you very much sir!

My adk catskill guide says the trailhead for Ashokan is on Peekamoose Rd. Is there another name for the road or can anyone tell me where the parking area is? Thanks

Hello, I am interested in trying a winter bushwack in the Cats and was wondering if anyone with experience had any trips planned coming up that they wouldn't mind an extra hiker for. Stay warm and safe.

Let's face it. There was nothing at all inappropriate about the thread. I've stopped posting here (yes moderators, please kill my membership now) because people are just too damn sensitive around here and the first time anyone gets a little off topic or tries to have some fun people, moderators...

My worse year for hiking, but the best for mountain biking. When I managed to get on a hike: Wittenburg, Cornell, Twin, Indian Head, SW Hunter, Hunter, Peekamoose, Westkill, Table, Sawyer (ADK)

Rusk and Hunter sounds good to me Mark. I'll PM you about Sunday and we'll keep an eye on the weather.

Thanks Jay. Before posting I totally neglected to check hunting dates, I'll do that now.

How about the ADK 46 or Catskill 3500 mountain bike challenge (if you live to tell about it).

I know this is a shot in the dark but if anyone plans on hiking any of these peaks in the Catskills in the next couple of weekends send me a PM. Doubletop, Northdome, Sherill, Lone, Rocky, Friday, Balsam Cap, or Rusk. Happy Hiking :) Ryan

Cool thanks. :)

Anyone know how to find Buttermilk Falls. I am going down to hike Peekamoose tomorrow and would like to include the falls if possible. Thanks

Too bad. More trails should be open to bikers. I think the two activities can share most trails just fine.

This is very helpful. I too like to find a place away from the wind, either below tree line or tucked in some evergreens, to have some hot soup or tea before summiting to raise my core body temperature. I often hike with my wicking layer and outer layer, then as I get up higher and the...

Thank you for sharing that video Tom. Good to know.

Great trip report Matt, as expected. Congratulations again Jay. I'm glad I could be there. Ryan

I'm in for February if it's a weekend as I cannot hike through the week. I've done the Wit and Slide so I would like to hike either plan as long as I get to check out Cornell.

What can we anticipate for weather/gear issues?
