Pretty climb with a nice payoff at the top/ Well worth the trip.

Hiked 5.5 miles round trip (in loop) to reach Wawayanda Mountain. Parked a the AT trailhead on Route 94 and hiked the Stairway to Heaven (very icy - treacherous in places), stopped at Pinwheel Vista, then continued on AT to junction for spur to the old AT Vista. Was unable to follow old AT route so had to bushwack to reach Wawayanda Mountain. Tough hiking due punching though foot-deep snow for much of the route; also thick brush/downfall. After reaching summit continued bushwacking downhill back to Route 94 and then walked on road return to trailhead. Note this was second trip to Wawayanda Mountain - first time was August 20, 2012 but didn't reach summit.
