More “research” for my Peakist peakbagging app. Japhy and I have completed the #Catskill Fire Tower Challenge for 2025. He also now has 5 of his Catskill 3500 peaks. I’m not sure my knees will allow me to help him get all the other peaks.

Hunter Mountain. One of my favorites. A bit of everything on the hike. Saw our first snow flurries of the season too.

Peakist v2.0 update (my peak bagging app) will have improved maps (much faster and topos), grid list tracking and a bunch of new lists. Heading up to #Maine for your 4,000 footer #hiking adventures. New #Catskill and #Adirondack lists too!

TestFlight is open to all right now. https://testflight.apple.com/join/f9ASbSHj

v1.0 in the App Store right now.

If you are a peak bagger check it out. If you have a favorite list I don't support yet let me know and I'll see about adding it.
