“No place invokes intrigue like Panther Gorge. The name conjures up images of desolation, tangled blowdown, impenetrable forest and boulders strewn in tumbled confusion. Tucked between Marcy and Haystack, this wild place has long been the stuff from which stories are made and legends grown….“-Don Mellor, Climbing in the Adirondacks

Fun was had and exhaustion ensued....
