Snow, ice, WINDY, cold, yeah it's finally Winter!
We did Rocky first from the Neversink, there was a lot of water in the streams, but not impossible to cross if you were patient. There is a huge blowdown just above the Donovan Brook crossing that I used, while Paula, Gwen, and Laurie crossed a more typical way.
With a little GPS work from Paula, we made it over to Lone, and then back down to the 'Sink. A long, slow hike, but we got 'er done!
2 to 4 inches of fluffy snow, drifting in places, microspikes were perfect.
Props to Gwen, doing her first Catskill peaks, a Winter double, off trail!
