Spring is almost here! We’re certainly happy the temperature is rising. If you like a bit of an adrenaline rush, then it’s the perfect time of year to start rock climbing the Adirondacks! This region is home to 46 peaks and Lake Placid takes pride in the High Peaks. We have some of the most beautiful climbing views in the Northeast. Along with traditional climbing, you can try mountaineering and backcountry cragging.

Some of the most popular Adirondack routes are Henderson Cliff, Avalanche Pass, Gothics, Noonmark, and Rooster Comb.
If you’re in nearby Keene Valley, check out Chapel Pond Slab, the Beer Walls, Upper and Lower Washbowl, Creature Wall, Spanky’s Wall, and the Spider’s Web. (Great names, right?)
