| JRaphaelson | Route Climbed: Breaknick Ridge Trail  Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2011 | |
| Great climbing to start, and shortly thereafter rewarded by spectacular views of the Hudson River. But that's about it. The trail afterwards is quite uneventful aside from a nice view or two. | |

| Chinigo | Great climb | |
| I did this with a group of friends. It is probably the best scramble in the area. I went up the Breakneck Ridge Trail, but down by the Bypass and Wilkinson. | |

| SawtoothSean | Really Cool Date Climbed: Nov 17, 2010 | |
| Really great hike with my son and grandfather- we did the loop and it was nice and steep with fun Class 3 scrambling. I came for a visit from the west and have done hundreds of peaks above 10,000 feet, so I had low expectations. But I was really pleasantly surprised! | |

| jcoalter | Made it! Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2009 | |
| My first Highlands trip. When we made it a mile in the first hour I was like, enough! We'll never get through 8 more! But we did and the climb and the views were great. | |

| chocodove | Copperhead Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2009 | |
| Great hike. Saw a copperhead on the way up. Be careful out there! Between the timber rattlers in the area and those you have to watch where you step. | |

| PaulRomano | Nice loop Date Climbed: May 12, 2009 | |
| Did a nice loop going up Breakneck Ridge, over to Bull Hill and down. Weather was pleasant, partly cloudy and warm. | |

| Koba | Favorite weekend getaway | |
| Have done most of the routes on Breakneck numerous times. My favorite is still Breakneck (W) to Mount Beacon. Still have yet to see a rattler. | |

| Sam Page | 10x (at least) | |
| This is my favorite scramble in the area. It can be made more "interesting" by veering off to the right or left of the trail. | |

| One of my favorite hikes in SE NY. Amazing overlooks of the Hudson with some fun scrambling. | |

| birdny | Did it again! Date Climbed: May 20, 2007 | |
| Hiked Breakneck again with sons Mark and Matt and a our friend Moe. Drizzle and showers in the morning cleared into a beautiful day! This hike is so much fun would love to do it again but will be moving to Maryland in a few weeks. Check out my trip report for pics of the Rattlesnake we saw! | |
