This was the hardest of the Catskill 3500 climbs so far. It was 2.5 miles of progressively steeper and rockier trail. It felt never ending and relentless. The views from the fire tower were spectacular. Lots of people on the trail today. Perfect day for a hike. I won’t have a problem sleeping tonight that’s for sure.
