Diamond Notch Falls (Catskills)

Hey Cats climbers... does anyone out there have any beta about Diamond Notch Falls? I stumbled upon it in a Catskills waterfalls hiking guide... At this point in my ice climbing education... I am taking Will Gadd's advice - and am willing to hike in a few hours to find new ice, work for it to get to new places and work on my technique.

Anyone out there want to join me?

I am also trying to train hard this Spring for taking my RIC in North Conway - looking for partners...

From what I can find the falls is only 10 feet high, not sure it'd be worth the trip. Here's the best info I can find: manofaltitude.com/wordpress…

There are some ravines in the Slide Mtn vicinity I'd like to explore, I'm at work and don't have the maps with me but I can give you more info in the morning.

What's RIC?

I suspect he's referring to the AMGA Rock Instructor Course.

Kevin,

Check your PMs. Let me know what you think, I would probably head out there for a look.
