"Quick hike of the Blackhead Range for August then over to Prediger road for a quick hike of Twin and Indian Head. The Jimmy Dolan Notch trail was very wet and muddy after the big storm last week making it a wonderful approach to IH and Twin especially when you get to do it twice." — Nimblefoot • Aug 11, 2020
"An out & back to Twin and Indian Head from Prediger road then relocate car to Mink Hollow and do Plateau and Sugarloaf. Temperatures were fine but the humidity was up so quite the sweat-fest. Finishes July the 7th month completed for my third 420 grid." — Nimblefoot • Jul 21, 2020
"An out and back to Twin mountain then Indian Head via Jimmy Dolan Notch. Bare booted all the way to Twin where put on the Hillsound Pro crampons for my descent back to the notch and round trip of Indian Head. Below the notch I switched back to bare boots for the hike out. Wonderful day with blue sky, slight breeze and cool temps in the teens." — Nimblefoot • Feb 14, 2020
"Managed to bare boot it all the way up to Jimmy Dolan Notch and the summit of Indian Head by dodging any icy patches and cautiously walking across those that I couldn’t avoid. Put on the Hillsounds for my descent back down to the Notch, out and back to Twin then down the initial descent from the Notch. Bare booted again through the rock and root jungle back to the PA. Found plenty of well preserved bear prints in ice on both peaks and down low on the JDN trail. The bear(s) made them in afternoon slush then they froze over night. Noticed a number of places where the bear(s) slipped or skidded on slush covered rock or rock ledge, I guess their claws don’t help in those situations." — Nimblefoot • Nov 20, 2019
"Another fine Fall day though a bit cooler than yesterday for part two of our Devils Path 4-peak traverse. The west side of Twin mountain is still closed do to vandalism of newly installed iron rungs in a section often found challenging for some hikers. An O & B of Indian Head and Twin via the ever popular Jimmy Dolan Notch trail. Today Yong Ae treated us to a lunch of dumplings with dipping sauce and her wonderful ginger tea. Once back to Prediger road only Tom and I were willing to do a late afternoon hike of KHP, to finish the day, before rendezvousing with Tom’s wife Anna in Kingston for some burgers at Five Guys." — Nimblefoot • Oct 15, 2019
"Did a double dip to get the Devils Path four. Indian Head and Twin from the Prediger road PA then Plateau and Sugarloaf from the Mink Hollow PA. Spooked a good size black bear about half way into Jimmy Dolan Notch." — Nimblefoot • Sep 17, 2019
"Successful single day, solo traverse of the Devil's Path from East to West. This marks my first ultra-style, and longest hike in terms of mileage and duration. Set out at around 4:50am with 15 hours of moving time. I got over my fear of hiking alone in the dark, made some newt friends along the way, and finished the trail in one piece. I'm excited to keep pushing and see how far my heart and feet take me :) " — pandyabear • Sep 15, 2019
"Tom, Peter and I did a traverse of the Devils Path 4, Plateau to Indian Head. We started our hike by bushwhacking right out of the Mink Hollow PA as a short cut to the DP heading toward Plateau. The rest of the day we felt like salmon swimming upstream as we were heading east while the numerous hikers and backpackers were all heading west. On Indian Head we met up Tom’s wife Anna and friends Mimi and Regina and hiked out to Prediger road with them. To finish our day we headed to Mama’s Boy in Tannersville to have some smash burgers and tater tots. A wonderful day with cooler temps, great views and good friends." — Nimblefoot • Aug 24, 2019
"Tom, Christy and I did a challenging hike of the eastern half of the Devils Path over to Kaaterskill High Peak using the Platte Clove Preserve trail to connect the two. We started with a bushwhack out of Mink Hollow up to the DP on Plateau and finished with a bushwhack off of KHP down to Byrne road on new DEP land." — Nimblefoot • Apr 22, 2019
"Five of us out milking the final days of winter while the weather is great and the snow is still here. Spikes all day to handle the numerous icy patches on the crusty packed trail. Anna treated us to dessert of Korean twinkies and sweet rice bars. A single male and a young couple also out enjoying the fine weather and trail conditions." — Nimblefoot • Mar 19, 2019
