Sherill not Halcott

I went to go hiking and didn't plan on an early start in the Catskills, and never expected it would be a problem to find parking.  My goal was Halcott.  Well, I get there about 10 in the morning and the lot is full.  So I go down to Shaft road to think and come up with doing Sherill.  I had plans in the evening, so I only planned on doing one peak.

Sherrill and North Dome

Sherrill and North Dome Saturday..... It was a beautiful day for hiking, and overall the herd path was rather good, with 2 exceptions. Due to the work they are doing on the power lines, the point where the herd path leaves the woods road is rather hard to find since they beat back a lot of the vegetation that was at the start. I ended up going left of the herd path, started up a different woods road and realized I was on the wrong side of the stream.... back tracked a bit until I saw the path on the other side, and crossed.

North Dome and Sherrill planning

This coming Saturday, I plan to get back to hiking after a couple weeks off.  The plan for the day are North Dome and Sherrill in the Catskills.  These are both trailless peaks, but they do have established herd paths.  The problem is that there are multiple ways to go up/down these mountains.  The guidebook mentions one going up Sherrill from Shaft road.  There's a route up North Dome from Spurceton road, and there's another that is a mile or so in on the Devils Path from Spruceton.  The guide also says there's a path between the 2 peaks, but the col is narrow
