Covert Action

DescriptionThis area is work in progress. Please add routes and upload photos here if you have them. If you have a topo map you'd like to share, create a Google drawing and share it with: admin"at-symbol"climbcatskillice "dot"com and we'll publish it. Ryan Stefiuk has a nice description of the area and approach on his website: http://catskillice.com/covert-action/
DirectionsSame directions as for the Hell Hole. From Tannersville: Head South on Railroad Ave for .4 miles until it merges with Spruce St. Continue on Spruce St. for another .5 miles where it turns into Co. Road 16. After .9 miles (1.8 miles from Tannersville) turn left onto Co Road 16/Platte Clove Road. Follow this road for 4.8 miles until you reach the Long Path Parking Lot trailhead on your left. Alternatively, climbers sometimes drive a few hundred feet past the bridge and park at the end of the road.
ApproachThis area wasn't included in Marty's printed guide because the original (shorter) approach was on private land. Ryan has detailed a longer approach that will avoid trespassing, taking 1-2 hours. Check it out here: http://catskillice.com/covert-action/
