Huecos in New York!

I couldn’t believe it when I saw the boulders for the first time. I drove the 2.5 hours from my parents lake house on Kasoag Lake to Snowy Mountain; in the heart of Adirondack Park. I had heard from other climbers, time and time again: “You gotta get up to Snow Mountain, man! The rocks have crazy huecoed features!”  I took note but let it sit on the back burner.  Then someone else would come along and mention it again. I began to realize that this could be one of those hidden gems that you learn by word of mouth.

I soon after discovered that it was recently documented in Adirondack Rock (possibly the coolest guidebook I have ever seen). I saw it. And I went. Every bit of my whimsical, climber-wet-dream-fantasy was realized. The boulders of Snowy Mountain are completely out of place in the North East. They consist of huecos and edges with sloping top-outs. You have to see it to believe it. I know I did. Thats why I uploaded this video that captures a few fun moderates…

Here’s some cool pics. Some are random, and others are climbs that I needed a spot from the photographer for the top out.

Coitus. The coolest v6 I have ever climbed.

Fun.

Who’s dat?!
