| ape | Great winter hike  Date Climbed: Feb 12, 2012 | |
| Did the Blackhead range with three friends. Great weather, not too much ice. Microspikes were sufficient (barely, at times), and I was glad we had one ice axe to share between us. | ||

| ape | Blackhead-Windham hike Date Climbed: Nov 20, 2011 | |
| Went over the Blackhead range and Windham with two friends. Had called a taxi to pick us up at the end to drive us back to our car, but it left us stranded! Was thankfully able to get a ride from another hiker. | ||

| woodstrider | That's some cold s--t! Date Climbed: Jan 1, 1996 | |
| Is there a name for the disease of the brain that causes people to obsessively bushwack all peaks- even those with perfectly good trails to the top? I did this bushwack in the summer and decided it would be even nicer in the winter when everything is frozen in place and covered with snow. Boy- it was cold, my sandwich a frozen block. But the great views made it all worth while. Approach was from the south. | |

| Climbed with Black Dome and Thomas Cole via the Black Dome Range Trail from Big Hollow Road. A nice spring day to be out in the woods. Excellent views from the ledge on the trail leading up to the summit. | |

| bricewilson | from Big Hollow Road Date Climbed: Jan 3, 2009 | |
| Hit Black Dome, Thomas Cole and Blackhead from Big Hollow road. Descended Blackhead on N. side via Escarpment Trail - very icy, would have used a rope if I had brought one. Lots of fresh snow, kept snowshoes on all day. | |

| took the escarpment trail from big hollow road. was definitely a lot more ice than I expected, but only added to the fun. the way the viewpoint west of the summit opened up for views of the indian head range was awesome. | |

| TLP | part 1 of the day Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2007 | |
| From the Big Hollow trailhead I took the Batavia Kill trail to the Escarpment trail, which is a great little hike. FRom there I headed over to Black Dome and Thomas Cole, then made my way back and took the Black Dome trail back to Big Hollow. It was a cool day for August in the morning, and there was absolutley clear skies. Not too many people out there for a Sunday. | |

| VaughnH | Best Short Catskill Adventure Date Climbed: Dec 7, 2003 | |
| Starting in 10 degree F weather at Black Dome Valley the route over Acra point without snowshoes was knee deep. At the top, for a short time, the wind was blowing fearsomly with only a few feet visibility and you would think it was the remote Artic. | |
