Take Rt. 42 north from Shandaken off Rt. 28. Drive north 3.7 miles and watch for Shaft Road and a small parking area on your right. Park in the small area to begin this bushwhack. Since it is a bushwhack, there are many possible routes.
Walk up the access road to the Catskill Aqueduct shaft all the way to the shaft and then head southeast along the Shandaken Tunnel. This is a direct route but may be steep in places. This route also assumes you can cross Angle Creek. Another possibility is to follow a route that parallels Angle Creek all the way to the ridge. Once on the ridge turn southwest and head for the highest point. You may intersect an old woods road which makes the going easier but be sure it is headed in the right direction. When you have reached your goal, retrace your steps back to the car or chose a different route.
