That's the route I meant. Also, the options expand exponentially if you're willing to go trailless. Back in my 3500 Club days, Friday from Moon Haw Road was a real ball buster. Looking at the topo map, it's about 2,700 gain in under 3 miles. I was just getting over a pretty bad cold when I did it and remember being flat on my back gasping for breath at one point.

Looks cool, gotta circumvent the private land it looks like now though. I love how in the Catskills the topo just cannot show those random exposed cliffs.

thinking of cliffs a good sized cliff is giant ledge, i would see the cliff face from slide, looked like a mini wall face, and of-course the random cliffs of varying sizes on hunter, if you can find them all you dont even need the fire tower for the views, but that's what you get from random glaciers pounding some sides of the hills but leaving others less than touched
