Aaron? Are you interested?

Another possibility is to do Hunter so you can save WHP for Saturday. It isn't that far away. If you go up the Becker Hollow Trail it is about a total of 6 miles. It's fairly steep, rocky, and could be icy so I would recommend bringing crampons. The stream crossing should be okay especially...

I'm planning on doing a Catskill hike this Friday. My current plan is to do Graham and then if all goes well, maybe go up Balsam Lake as well. There is a small list of other Catskills I might be persuaded to do instead. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Aaron, I'm thinking of doing Graham and then if I'm still feeling up to more, heading up Balsam Lake. I'll post it as a separate thread in case any one else might be interested.

Congratulations Matt! You're so close...3 more winter and West Kill! Now you really need to get one while there is snow though. It's a lot of fun hiking in the snow. I bet you would really like it. Good luck on your hike on Friday. I might be doing a Catskill hike this Friday also, but I...

Congratulations! Sorry I didn't see your post on the weather in time to respond. I'm glad to hear it well. I agree that part of why you were slower is likely that you were probably carrying more than the others. Did you end up wearing the Koflach's? A note on the weather....what you need...

Yeah, my mastercard just got me some new gear too!

Yes, Tom and I are friends.

They have not put in a new bridge or any other crossing. The log has initiated many discussions and complaints. People say the Neversink is not bad to cross if you go upstream a bit from the log, but as you say, it might be a little high right now. I prefer to go a little later in the season...

Well, as a winter beginner, Slide in the Catskills is perfect. It is not really very difficult in elevation or distance and yet it is a beautiful winter hike. I think you'll have a great time. I also lead hikes for the 3500 club and feel a responsibility to make sure participants are...

That's great Adrian! Happy Holidays to you!

I know it's a long way off, but I will be leading a hike to Peekamoose and Table on Feb. 13th for the 3500 club in case any of you are interested. I'll join any Catskill hikes if I am available.

You can go in from the Table side, but that means crossing the Neversink. I have a tendancy to avoid that crossing. That log is not one of my favorites!

Great! It was a great weekend for hiking...especially for early December. A few of us hiked Peekamoose and some went on to get Table on Saturday. There were a few icy patches, but overall the trail was in good shape. Today, Harryk and I went up Halcott. There was enough snow to cover the...

I use the High Gear Altitech 2. I really like it because I can clip it on the front of my pack. It's very easy to use and convenient.

It sounds like a great day! Camel's Hump is a great peak and unusual to get any time to yourself up there. I guess you have good timing. Congrats on checking another one off a list.

Okay Matt, great...see you there!

Yes, I know it's hunting season, but a few of us are planning on doing some hiking in the Catskills this weekend. The plan is to do Peekamoose and Table on Saturday and Halcott on Sunday. We will meet at the Kingston park and ride (get off the thruway at Kingston, enter the traffic circle, get...

I am not sure if I'll join this hike or do another hike, but I'll be staying in Lake Placid with friends that weekend so I should be able to at least join the after hike fun. Lake Placid Pub and Brew anyone?

I'll do any of them again. Marshall is a nice one to finish on. I love hiking along Herbert Brook. I love the Sewards too.
