A Group was created by the Glenn falls ADK dedicated to climbing the new your fire towers, and getting pepole outside of the high peaks to see the rest of what the 2 great parks of new your have to offer

23 of the 28 peaks must be climbed, including all 5 of the Catskill fire towers

towers them self dont have to be climb, nor is it recommended to climb all the towers (some are unsafe to climb)

some of the climbs are downright steep and long (gore is long and steep, adams is steep, woodhall is very long, snowy is as hard as at lease half the high peaks) while others are a walk in the park (belfry, kahne, red hill)

Children
