"The final two peaks of Rebecca’s Catskill 35 420 Grid quest. She recently turned 70 in January, though you wouldn’t know that from her always upbeat enthusiastic personality and her energetic pursuit of peaks. Befitting she would become 420 Gridder #70.
Assembling at the Shaft road TH for an out and back hike was Mimi, Susan, Tom, Amy and her hubby Qi under mostly cloudy skies with just hints of blue sky showing through. By 11:30 am we were celebrating Rebecca’s finish replete with the presentation of a 420 Grid certificate/sign, 420 Grid patch and a Single Season Winter triangle patch all nicely packaged by the headquarters of Hikers Anonymous.
After numerous photo ops of the whole group and with individuals, she wanted one with me because of my forthcoming move to Reno, we commenced on a snack fest.
On our return the clouds cleared offering blue sky and sun which brought the temps to more spring-like with the ground being completely bare and no need for the micro spikes dangling from our packs. With gaiters removed and footwear changed we relocated to Brio’s in Phoenicia for celebratory pizza and a very large custom cake that more than filled our bellies.

"Hiked with Dean and Katie today. The road into the trailhead wasn't plowed today, so our hike was a couple miles longer. Even though it was still technically a winter hike, the beautiful day said spring. Views from the bald summit were awesome. On the descent we stopped to study the head stones in the Lang Cementary. Very interesting. A short easy hike with big rewards!" — garyogden • Mar 12, 2024
"Second mountain of the day with Maryellen, Tina, and Chris on a mild winter day. Used crampons to get over rivers of ice. Glad we weren’t going back down! Took the long way down sketchy cliffs as part of all trails challenge. Trail never seemed to end! " — lfrancois • Mar 3, 2024
"A mild winter hike with Maryellen, Chris, and Tina. Rivers of ice and water at times. Some sketchy sections that made us pause a bit! Crampons were great to cross over the soft ice. Clouds blew away at second lookout. " — lfrancois • Mar 3, 2024
