Wittenberg, Cornell, Slide Hike | Wednesday, February 12, 2010 @ 7:30 AM

We'll hike the Burroughs Range, summiting Wittenberg, Cornell, and Slide. With lots of great views along the way, the one from Wittenberg is one of the nicest in the Catskills.  Expect lots of ups and downs as we climb three of the high peaks, including the tallest in the Catskills.Event Duration:  10 miles, 10 hoursLevel of Difficulty:  Difficult Leader(s):   Marv FreedmanBring: Wear warm hiking boots, and pack an extra clothing layer. Do not wear cotton. It will probably be too cold for a long lunch, bring small sandwiches or snacks that can be eaten during short breaks, and 2 to 3 liters of water/sports drink packed so that it won't freeze. Headlamps are required. We will probably encounter extreme ice between Cornell and Slide. Traction aids at least as aggressive as Hillsound Trail Crampons are required. Crampons are strongly recommended. I don't expect to need snowshoes, but bring them and we'll decide whether to carry them at the trail head.Registration required by February 11th.
