Stewards of the Catskills
The Catskill 3500 Club was founded in 1962, to foster interest in hiking in
the Catskills. Membership is open to all persons, who have climbed on foot
each of the
35 Catskill peaks above
3500 feet in elevation.
Those wishing to become members must climb all 35 Catskill High Peaks
and, in a departure from the requirements of most other such clubs, climb
Slide, Blackhead, Balsam and Panther mountains again in winter, which is
defined by the Club's by-laws as the period from December 21 to March 21
regardless of the actual occurrences of the winter solstice and vernal
equinox in particular years.
