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
This is what Dr. Kraus was doing twenty years before he was helping JFK with his chronic back pain: putting up good routes in the Gunks with a hemp rope and a few widely spaced soft iron pitons.
Climb the flared shallow chimney and crack system left of the Crevice and directly below the right end of the Foops overhang system. Boulder up into the chimney and climb this (crux). Follow the continuing crack to the overhang and skirt this on the right. Climb easier rock to the top.
I only recently learned that when Hans Kraus died in 1996, a friend carried his ashes up the High Exposure buttress and scattered his ashes to the wind.
