 It draws hikers from not just the region but far outside, due to the challenging climbs straight up and down the steep gaps between the four peaks of the range, which often require hikers to use hands as well as feet to pull themselves almost straight up cliffs and through rocky chutes.These climbs, however, lead to views across the Catskill range.Most hikers use the trail for day trips to one or two summits along the range, via the trails that go up into the cols.
