The newest (it was cut in 1969) and least-hiked portion of the Devil's Path begins just past the West Kill. The trail branches off to follow the water for a few hundred feet, then slowly begins traversing up the huge mountain, the sixth-highest in the Catskills. A good spring is found to the side of the trail from the ford. Afterwards, it levels off for a while, then begins attacking the mountain more directly, requiring once again the use of hands through some steep chutes. The woods aside the trail become more and more boreal, and at about 3,400 feet (1,036 m), it levels off again. Another from the spring, there is a large rock overhang, an excellent place to camp just below the marker, where camping is prohibited for most of the year.
