"Tom and I left the parking area on Floodwood Road at 7am under cloudy skies and 32°. Snowshoes for .75 miles to Long Pond. Then skied 2.5 miles in 2" of water on the pond to the trailhead . Switched to snowshoes for 1.5 miles to the summit. Trail was completely unbroken. A lot of blowdown to Mountain Pond then the climb to the summit. 3' of unbroken snow with a half inch of crust to make things interesting. Lost the trail several times. 1000' of eg in the last .8 miles to the summit. Nice views from the top. Then rinse and repeat. 6 hrs 40 mins r/t.

"Hike up to Roundtop and over to Kaaterskill is a true and fun bushwhack with at least two class 2 + scrambles depending on your mood :) Needed spikes. Twilight trail down from Kaat and on to DEC snowmobile trail was an ice river but there are plenty of bypasses. Views at hurricane ledge were wonderful." — alexmenziesparkadam • Jan 11, 2026

"The day went really smoothly, summit conditions were icy above treeline, bring aggressive snow shoes and microspikes, and exercise caution!
I had summited at 9:00am, started at 5:20am. The trail conditions when I went was really good, the snow had a really good boot pack, and it allowed for a speedy ascent! And I caught a break in the weather summit. Definitely recommend this climb to those who want to improve their experience when doing days out in the mountains in the cold, and testing layering about treeline. " — sebastienauger • Jan 5, 2026
"Well marked trail with a couple class 2 + scrambles. Snowdrifts were up to 2ft deep at points, and lots of ice along trail, micro-spikes definitely helped. Lookout is small but views were great. Peak is marked by a sign." — alexmenziesparkadam • Dec 30, 2025
