The cliff band



15 minute walk into the pond and another 10 to get to the cliff band and into the blocks below.
Looks like there is pretty good potential.




Another shot of another cliff on the way in.



I'm hoping to make a run in sometime soon.

Still a few more jems

Hogwarts.


This lovely line needs a send. Strong folks have been repelled.
The rock behind kinda ruins some of the joy.

Location:Hogwarts

This is where you are headed next time you go....

GULL POND

Really Great line.

I couldn't do all the moves but crazy fun to try. Steep, Powerful and all there.

4 moves to the top, about 12 feet of climbing. 

Fell halfway up and did not try again. 

Gull Pond.

Felt hard but it will go.

Great Problem. 

Super fun problem. Great holds.

Very pretty place.

Room for more lines on this.

 Really good. 

Good Slab

Couldnt find a line on the steep side. 

This will be fun.


There is a lot of rock around. Everything I played on was under the cliff except the big slab.
Short hike in and seems like there is plenty to keep busy with for a day. Problems are very good and the rock is great.
I will spending some time here.

Dacy Clearing Boulders

The gate is open so you drive in to the Dacy parking lot saving a mile. A twenty min hike to some really nice problems.
Bring some big pads.

Boulders in Between Brighton and Paul Smiths

Spotted these from Rt. 86 and had to go check them out. A week or so later, we went and found a few decent boulders with holds, and cracks. However, most of the boulders need a LOT of cleaning...

Cobble Mt. - Lake Placid

I hike Cobble Mt once a week or so and always eyeball the boulders just below the summit slab. Instead of making the usual trek over to Mackenzie Pond, I decided to scrub away at a few spots over on Cobble. They still need a lot more cleaning. I've only had one session on them, and they are all very well featured.



From the bench just below the summit, there is a drainage ditch that heads south towards rt. 86 where there are some pretty legit sized boulders.

Around the base of the mountain facing route 86 is a dauntingly big overhung wall that has two bolted sport routes on it (connection - 5.12c, and reciprocity 5.12d). The height of the wall decreases in either direction and there is definitely potential for some high-ball problems and short sport routes (3-4 bolts). (first two photos)
