Adirondack Rock Climbing

For those so inclined, the gneiss cliffs of the Adirondacks have been a rock climbing destination for decades. The Lake Placid region is home to some of the country's finest traditional rock climbing, summer mountaineering, remote backcountry cragging and the East's biggest wilderness cliff – Wallface. There are literally thousands of traditional rock climbs accessible to climbers, and licensed Adirondack guides available to provide private instruction and to showcase the region's classic rock climbing routes.
