"Ed and I had a beautiful spring day to visit South Beacon and Sugarloaf mountains at the end of November with a blue sky and temps in the mid 50's. Met at the large PA along 9D then headed right up Breakneck, fortunately all the scrambles were bone dry. Younger folks with lighter packs were blowing right by us we strolled along laden with winter-like packs. Yesterday I was in the Catskills dealing with wet snow and getting soaked then today I'm sweating from the heat and getting soaked. We cruised by the whack to the true summit of Breakneck, aiming for the tower on S. Beacon, so I can't count that bump. Casual lunch at the tower and time for Ed to take some video from the cab for his guiding website. Looped around to the Wilkinson trail which we took over to Sugarloaf mountain on our way back. We got to witness the result of a fire from earlier this year as we approached the summit and the iconic dead cedar tree. A section of the trail is closed for habitat rehabilitation so we had loop back around the mountain before dropping down to rt 9D. We definitely got spoiled with such a nice day.

"Competed in the Breakneck Point Half Marathon. The course was rough and the weather not optimal. However, It was an amazing experience and I look forward to my next trail race." — Right-On • Apr 13, 2019

"Ed, Connie,Grace and I doing the Breakneck Ridge trail out to the tower then down and over to the Wilkinson trail to hike over Sugarloaf then down to 9D for a nice loop. Wearing shorts and t-shirts on a wonderfully warm December day. A few steps missing on the stairs and the viewing deck itself needs some repairs. " — Nimblefoot • Dec 12, 2015
