SoloJoe's Ascent of Rocky Mountain (1063 feet)

Trip Report: Started at dawn at the Ramapo Reservation trailhead off Rt. 202. Handful of folks walking dogs at that hour. Crossed bridge and followed orange trail past some ruins toward Camp Yaw-Paw, then bushwhacked Matty Price Hill from the SE, an ascent of almost 700'. Used marked trails to weave NW, then set a direct bearing for Rocky and headed up to summit. Kept rolling from there, 'whacking both Ilgenstein Rock's steep east face and, later, Drag Hill on my way back to the parking area.

Total loop was 8.8 miles with 2379' elevation gain. Nice morning, great exercise in orienteering. Here's a link to my tracks: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=887700
