Asolo TPS 250 I am a little smaller than you at 5' 8" and 160 but I have had the TPS 250 model for over a year. I have a moderately wide foot and have the medium width boot. It took a while for them to stretch but they fit well now. They do make a wide version. These are my boot of choice for...

Another site with information You might also try http://www.catskillhiker.com. Some people feel that this site has a lot of useful information. I am partial since it is my site. Leavitt Peak (SW Hunter) is a lot easier to do now that there is a weel-defined herd path to the canister. RHB

Sheba and I parked at Shaft Road off Rt 42 with the intent of hiking Sherrill and North Dome. Had never gine this way and didn't know what to expect. Walked up the road to the shaft and then followed a woods road on and off parallel to the stream. I intended to hike to the "head" of the stream...

Sheba (my dog) and I started at the old logging road near Winisook Lake after a local snowfall of about 4 to 6 inches. Wore my Atlas 12 snowshoes the whole hike. Snow was "sticky" since the temperatures was just above freezing. This made for a difficult go by myself. Many of the ice flows were...

Maps on my website Try going to my website at www.catskillhiker.com. Once there use the PLACES tab (button) and try the CATSKILL PEAKS choice. Each Google Map was produced using a GPS track (or more than one). This is true of all the trails under TRAILS also. I have been experimenting with the...

I am ready to get back to the Catskills after hunting season! What did you have in mind for a long hike on Saturday?

Where were you thinking of going? I will probably be available if you don't mind a dog.

Might Like to Hike What route are you planning. I haven't done Barnum out and back in a long time. I was up from Big Hollow several times this summer in different variations. How do you feel about a well-behaved dog? Don't leave home without her. Would you be willing to start a little later...

Acme Mapper question I noticed the link at the bottom of your message and clicked on it to find Acme Mapper. I was "playing" around and added the 35 peaks. By the time I was done I only had the 26 last peaks! There seems to be a limitation based on the alphabet! Do you know anything about this...

Posted some elevation info Tom, Try the link again and look at what I have posted for the first seven peaks (by elevation). Is this what you had in mind? Some of the things I would like to do like a hover or a legend cannot now by done ON the Google Maps site. Most of them can be done through...

Cat 35 link would be an honor I can easily list the info you wanted. When you mentioned ascent, I assume you mean the summit elevation minus the trailhead elevation. I have also tried to divide the ascent by the hiking distance to get a "factor" which rates steepness of the trail. The ascent...

Another Catskill Locator Map The link below is a direct link to a map created with Google Maps for the Catskill 3500 peaks only. Each peak is "clickable" and most have pictures and a link to my website at www.catskillhiker.com to a page about that peak. These pages have a display of tracks from...

Plan to do this hike as early on Saturday 1/26 as I can. Should be about 12 miles round trip. Anybody interested!

Date of Hike: Saturday, 1/5/08 Trail Conditions: 8 to 10 inches of UNTOUCHED snow at the trailhead. Up to 3 foot drifts on the steeper portion of the Notch Trail. Conditions varied from powder, to packe, to drifted to ice. As much as 4 feet drifted at the summit of Twin. Special Equipment...

Broken ankle on Balsam lake Mt My son, Karl, and I were taking a QUICK run up and down Balsam Lake Mountain. We went the steep side to the tower and then start a jog down the other side. As we went I found a pair of new Nikon binoculars, a can of bear mace and a 60+ year old women with a broken...

Is there anyone interested in hiking Rocky and Lone this weekend? The weather looks better for Sunday than Saturday. Start at between 8:00 and 9:00 AM at the Denning parking area. Out the fisherman's path, up Rocky, over to Lone, down to the river and out.
