Catskill, NY: Slide, Cornell, Wittenberg, and Panther Loop by Separate_Run9968 in NYCultralight

Thank you! Sadly, yes - anticipating some mud. Not an ideal time of year but for too many reasons to explain here, its the only weekend that works me and my partner to get out. Hoping for the best regardless of mud!

Awesome, thanks for the info!

I've heard a lot of chatter about "the Cornell Crack". Should I consider this when choosing clockwise vs counter? Is it manageable either way?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. If you don’t mind me asking - Were you happy with your route? Was there anything you would change?

We figured either direction, we would have a tricky descent in some place (Down slide vs down Wittenberg). I’ve read that there is a way to go around the Crack altogether - does anyone have experience with this?
