Mount Shank is a mountain in New York's Catskill Mountains, located northwest of Cobleskill. In its immediate surroundings, Hogback lies to the northeast and Donats Mountain to the southeast. The available context identifies it as part of the Catskills and situates it among nearby peaks and the community of Cobleskill, but provides no further historical background or physical description. Its significance here rests in its geographic placement within this mountain landscape and its relation to neighboring landmarks.
