33 peaks above 3500 ft in the Catskills of New York. To be officially recognized by the Catskill 3500 Club, you must climb Slide, Blackhead, Balsam and Panther mountains again in winter. Only 2 hrs and change from the heart of NYC! Note: Doubletop and Graham, both over 3500 ft, were removed from the challenge in 2020 because the landowner permanently closed these peaks to the public.

"Hiked the DP-4 in two parts. Twin and Indian Head from Prediger road then drive over to Mink Hollow(North) for a bit slower climb of Plateau then finishing with Sugarloaf to fully punish the legs.

Then we took the old high route shortcut toward BC so some folks could visit a nice view south, for the first time, that is not known as well as the one near the herd path.
Between BC and Rocky, down along the flat stretch where you find numerous old fire rings, our good friend Sherri (aka Mixed Nuts ) suddenly shows up.
