Wilderness Survival Basics
2023-11-14 19:30 - 21:00
I’ll be presenting an overview of Wilderness Survival Basics at the Adirondack Mountain Club – Long Island Chapter monthly membership meeting. For more information, check the ADKLI website: https://www.adkli.org/

Wilderness survival refers to managing a short-term emergency and is focused on staying alive until you are able to return to civilization. Survival techniques require improvisation with the tools you have available. Topics covered will include planning and preparedness, mind and attitude, survival priorities and skills.

I hope you can join us at the November ADK-LI meeting, which is free to attendees. Contact us for more information or to schedule a program for your group:

Wittenberg and Cornell Mountains
2023-11-16 08:00 - 17:00
These two summits, rising to elevations up to 3857 feet, feature steep climbing and scrambling to some of the most classic Catskill views. If you like scrambling on Catskill ledges, this is the hike for you. In addition to the the famous “Cornell crack”, there are many opportunities to go up and down ledges using both your hands and your feet. At 9.4 miles with 3100 feet of elevation gain this is a challenging but very rewarding hike.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Adirondack Mountain Club and the Catskill 3500 Club. We strongly encourage you to consider joining these worthy organizations.

Contact Ed to reserve your spot. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.

2023-12-07 08:00 - 17:00
Join us on a hike to Plateau Mountain on the famous Devil’s path trail. This is a strenuous hike of 7 miles with over 2200 feet of ascent. The hike will include some steep climbing and light scrambling leading up to a wondrous walk through an enchanting forest along Plateau’s long summit ridge. We’ll be covering miles at elevations near 3800 feet and it is very likely that winter conditions will prevail. Spikes and snowshoes will be required.

Balsam Lake Mountain and Millbrook Ridge
2023-12-08 08:00 - 17:00
This all-day hike includes an out and back route to Balsam Lake Mountain and Millbrook Ridge. After a relatively easy hike to the Balsam Lake Mountain summit (and fire tower) we’ll hike the Finger Lakes Trail both ways to the 3465 foot summit of Millbrook Ridge and back. With most of the hike above 3000 feet elevation, winter conditions will likely be present. Snowshoes and spikes will be required. Bright Clothing, especially blaze orange is recommended. This is a 12.8 mile hike with nearly 2700 feet of elevation gain and we will hike at a moderate to quick pace.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Adirondack Mountain Club and the Catskill 3500 Club. We strongly encourage you to consider joining these worthy organizations.

Halcott Mountain - Social Series
2024-01-11 10:00 - 14:30
Start the New Year with a guided bushwhack to the 3509 foot summit of Halcott Mountain in the Catskills. Distance-wise this is one of the shortest Catskill High Peak hikes, but not the easiest. The 1800 foot elevation gain to the summit includes some very steep terrain and will require traction (spikes/trail crampons) and snowshoes.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Catskill 3500 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to join one or both of these clubs.
