Some people like to hike to complete lists and find this an added motivation. Many people have completed the Catskill 35 list and the Winter 35 list. For those people looking around for a new challenge, Mark Schaefer has created a list of the hundred highest peaks in the Catskills. The list actually has 102 peaks listed since there are some ties near the end.

Private land issues: Many of the summits below 3500 are either privately owned, or have approaches that are. Unless there is an conservation easement (e.g. the Roundtop near Bearpen) permission to hike on private lands should be obtained.
