Jay H If there were any tracks heading towards Cornell, I didn't notice. The snow up to slide was deep but well packed. Good traction and no sinking just with boots and grips. The lower elevations were pretty much continuous ice. George

I got one to Rick. At $29 how could you not want an extra pack. Thanks for the info.

Zero-G Winter 35, Hunter, SW Hunter, Westkill CONGRATULATIONS Zero-G Zero-G and I had a fantastic hike of Hunter, Southwest Hunter, and Westkill. Westkill completed the Catskill winter 35 for Zero-G. I was glad I was able to finish these peaks with him. That is all for know. The trip...

Me and my AT hiking partner hooked up for a day in the Cats. Decided to hike Giant Ledge and Panther for the views and Slide for the height. We started at the Slide Mountain Rd PA at 8:00. Weather was cloudy, temp about 10 deg. Five minutes after hitting the trail a lite snow started. We...

Hey Zero-G I'm in for Sunday. We will figure out the details later.

Weekend is coming up fast. Planning on Slide and Panther or Panther and Slide on Saturday. Any one like to hook up for one or both of these peaks? George

Only spoon. Going for minimum weight. All the extras can add up pretty quick. I find that the noodles are tricky with a spoon, but out in the woods we can forgo the table manners.

EMS has these snowshoes on sale for 148.98 right now. This is the best price by far that I have found. Yes I did order a set.

Alistair No problem on backing out. I hope you are feeling better. I look forward to hooking up on a future hike. Give me a shout whenever you are ready to go. Mark The thought of the road walk crossed my mind, but only briefly. I was hiking to be in the woods, not on the road. I just...

Hey Zero -G I remember the ice flow on Sugarloaf from three weeks ago. Thats were the group of five that I met had turned back. Was Rt 214 the end of your trip? If I didn't have to take the boss to work I was tempted to come out and find you guys on Sunday morning. I guess I would have...

Congrats Dawn and Matt and Rocky. What a great day to finish up the winter 35. Sounds like a great party on the mountain. Sorry I didn"t hook up for the hike, but I was really determined to get my planned hike in (Baksam thru Fir). George

Well my partner wasn't feeling well so could not go on this hike. I was thinking about alternate hikes, but at the last minute told the Boss I will be hiking plan "A". Since I was by myself I had to make this a round trip. I parked at the Mckenley Hollow PA, started at 8:00. Cold morning...

Hey Zero-G I replied to PM before reading your last post. Answered most of my questions except for next week. George

Would like to hear any good or bad comments on the Camp Ice Rider 12 pnt. crampons. Durability, straps, ease of putting on, boot adaptability. Thanks.

Thanks for the info hikethe115. I may join you and Matt depending which day this trip comes together. If I don't see you, then I'll say congratulations to you and Matt on your winter 35. Alistair, hope you can make it. Will it help with the Boss if I say "Please can Alistair come out and...

Matabobo definitly did take some pictures of the bear tracks. I did not see pictures of the tracks on his site, but if he reads this maybe he can post them. Pleeeeease.

Thats why we all ran up the mountain, we were triing to outrun the bear. If I remember correctly, it was the first steep pitch going up North Dome after meeting up with Connie, Judy, and Al. The tracks were rather large, about the size of a large mans hand. The tracks were heading down the...

Hey Zero-G How you doing? If no one signs on for the two car trip I might see you in the Westkill, Southwest Hunter area. Let me know when you plan to be in and around those two. Maybe I'll run into you guys. If I get there I will also try to hit Rusk on the same day. Take care. Doodles

Thanks for the advice Matt. Certainly makes sense to do the route from Fir to towards Balsam. With the colder weather this week, hopefully the streams will slow down a little. At this point the rest of the week looks rain free and cold. We need to put this cold weather to work and get...

No rush coldfeet. This looks like a nice ridge walk. All in line and no backwards walking. I haven't figured out what to do on the other day yet. See how this one works out first.
