Access Issue: While public climbing is still legally and enforceably prohibited at Sky Top, you may climb LEGALLY at Sky Top as a guided client, since 2007.
Details
If you want to legally climb at Sky Top, you have to be guided. Alpine Endeavors is contracted by the Mountain House to be the only guide service legally allowed to guide at Sky Top. This might seem completely unfair, but it's their sandbox - so, it's their rules. See mohonk.com/activities/overn… and mohonkmountainguides.com/ for more information.
Security patrols are in place to to prevent unauthorized access to the area. There will also be other methods used to confirm and prevent unauthorized access.
Regardless, this is a huge step in the uphill battle to win public climbing access back.

Description
A Pilgrim's Progress ascends a splitter finger crack and roofs above on spectacular white Gunks stone at the far right (east) end of Skytop.
The tree which shaded the route has fallen over, leaving it a more exposed line to the fixed anchors at the top of the cliff.
Well protected throughout, APP is well worth the walk, and a must do for any aspiring Gunks gourmet.
