We were looking for another big elevation gain hike. The AMC Catskill Mountain Guide lists the one way ascent as 2,800', so this hike was perfect. The hike has some minor rock scrambles, but in general was just what we were looking for. A perfect training hike. We've done this hike before as a trail maintenance hike with the Catskill 3500 footer club.
This was our second day in a row of hiking with significant gain, so our legs were already tired. This is good though - since we need to practice back to back hard days of hiking. Weather was warm but not too hot - a really nice hike and a nice day to be outside. These were Krummholz's 5th and 6th Catskill 3500 footers. Trek did need some assistance with some of the scrambles - a combination of getting older and having a backpack get in his way.
