Opis

Eighty-eight mountaineers/writers offer 101 true tales of high adventure in the Catskill Mountain High Peaks. The stories are divided into sections that include: Marathon Hikes, Wildlife Encounters, Wild Weather, Navigating in the Wilderness, Misadventures, Winter Adventuring, Lost in the Wilderness, Mysteries, Reminiscences, and Catskill Mountain Highs. Since 1962, mountain climbers in the Northeast have joined the quest for membership in the Catskill 3500 Club, reserved for hikers who summit all thirty-five Catskill Mountain peaks over 3,500 feet high. Adding to the challenge, four peaks must be climbed in winter, and thirteen of the peaks are trailless. Despite these obstacles, the Catskill 3500 Club has over 1,700 members, and membership continues to flourish. It's no surprise that many seekers after this hikers' Holy Grail come out of the wilderness with tales to tell that run the gamut from exhilaration to sheer terror.
