Jeanette had Monday off so I played hooky from work and we did a 1 day assault of Buttermill Falls up in the Catskills. We drove up Sunday evening and stayed in Tannersville at the Swiss Chalet - as one guest put it "like stepping back in time." Pretty crazy to be hiking in shortsleeves on Saturday and ice climbing on Monday. This climb is a real gem - 7 pitches and a real beast of an approach. Jeanette and I had a great time.
