About Skytop

Skytop is the tall conglomerate cliff on the Mohonk Mountain House property, five kilometres north-east of the Trapps and 270 m higher on the northern end of the Shawangunk ridge. The stone is the same quartz-cemented Shawangunk conglomerate but the access is very different: Skytop is on private Mohonk Mountain House land and unguided climbing has not been permitted since 2007. Legal access is limited to guided clients of Alpine Endeavors (the sole authorised guide service) or Mohonk Mountain House overnight guests via the hotel's own programme — Mohonk Preserve members do NOT get access to Skytop. When you get on it, Super Crack (5.12+) is the crag's most famous route; Foops (5.11c), No Exit (5.10d), Sound and Fury (5.9-), and Jekyll and Hyde (5.9) are the ranked classics. The wall's overhanging character keeps a few lines dry in rain. Own weather anchor because Skytop is much higher and further north-east than the Trapps — a genuinely different weather pocket even on the same ridge. April–June and September–November are prime.
