Well, I got in a great hike today in the Catskills. I chose Giant Ledge and Panther Mountain. I was only up there once before in the summer. It's a nice 6.6 mile round-trip, not too hard, but I still feel it at the end of the day. It was a spectacular, clear, dead calm day. I barebooted the first 0.75 miles and then had to go with snowshoes the rest of the day. I finished in 5:29 with a total ascent of 1952'. 1:49 ascending, 1:17 descending, and 2:23 on flat terrain or stopped. I took 115 photos (30 MB).Originally Posted by Ldub
