BRG, it won’t meet your thrillseeking sensibility. But if you get a trailmap, anything with a weird name is a big, strange rock formation. Claudius Smith’s den is one (there really was a Claudius, a revolutionary war traitor and friend of Benedict) who hid out there for a while. Lemon Squeezer is good. Cascade of Slid is also pretty good (and it’s got a waterfall for DIBS). There are others. You can build a nice loop around one or more of these. But hiking is on the more contemplative level than your normal fare. It’s also much closer.
What…..Fortunoff has technically been bankrupt since 2007. they filed in March, 2008 and were rejected but bought then by NRDC,the same firm that owns Lord & Taylor.
This is not new news and is probably the result of years of mismanagement.
Have you been up Phil Collins Hill?
BRG, Have you been up to Slide Mt./Catskills?
The view from One Brooklyn Bridge Park penthouses is spectacular too, I hear. But, you have to pay for it.
The view from black rock is pretty great too.

I like rock scrambling and scree jumping too. I can’t do the latter carrying my 2-yr old in my hiking-backpak-child carrier contraption.

Slope, I’ll give Harriman another go on your recommendation.
Having never shopped at Fortunoff, I have officially filed that under Don’t Care.
