Many New Yorkers have heard of the Adirondack
46'rs. These are the 46 Adirondack high peaks taller than 4,000 feet
above sea level. Fewer know of a similar list of Catskill peaks. This
is the Catskill 3500.
As you might guess, these peaks are all over
3,500 feet above sea level. If you are interested in joining the
Catskill 3500 Club you must climb each of these peaks. Additionally,
you must climb four of them during the winter. These peaks are Slide,
Black Head, Panther and Balsam.
