Kaaterskill High Peak

A few slippery, damp spots, a little scrambling here and there, but overall, this is no more than a moderate climb. The sweet smell of pine cheers you up as you approach the top. Hurricane ledge is a well-deserved name. If you plan to sit down there to take a break or get a bite, don't be surprised that the howling wind throws you back!
