The Lower Beer Wall forms the left side of the area collectively known as Beer Walls. The quiet (shielded from highway noise), scenic location (with excellent views of the High Peaks from the top of the wall), high quality rock, abundance of moderate routes, and ease of top-roping make the area one of the most popular in the Adirondacks. The Lower Beer Wall is best known for the cracks of Rockaholic, the face of Blacksmith, and the toproping at Live Free or Die. Expect company on nice weekends, but the abundance of routes leaves many nice choices. There are two parking areas: one above and one below the trailhead, which is marked by a log bridge across a ditch. The Lower Beer Wall can be accessed one of two ways. For the left (far) side of the cliff, take the trail right along the ridge-top that swings around to the base. For the right side of the cliff, follow the main trail down the gully and take the second right (the first right goes to the separate Live Free or Die area.)
