wittenberg + cornell - catskill 3500

the next two mountains on my quest to complete the catskill 3500. accompanied by my trail guide, moe, and my piano teacher, noah, we got an early start on a warm and humid morning. starting a the woodland valley trailhead, this trail starts climbing immediately and barely lets up. there are many wonderful rock ledges that made things interesting and also lots of rocks under foot --  not so interesting. 

the view from the summit of wittenberg is unmatched (my photo do not do justice) after soaking it in for a few we made that last little job to cornell including a shimmy up the famous cornell crack.

this trail kicked my butt, but completing it gave me a real sense of accomplishment.
