Climbing Routes

The main face at Poke-O-Moonshine Mtn offers one of the highest concentrations of quality multi-pitch climbing in the Adirondacks. There are 161 routes spread across the half-mile long face. The routes tend to cluster in the 5.10 to 5.11 range, but there is a good selection for most difficulty levels. The rock is a dark granitic gneiss that often forms large slabs with minimal protection, but is broken by diagonally-trending igneous dikes of lower quality that often form ledges. Please park only at the state campground, which is currently a day-use area only. Check the sign at the parking area for peregrine falcon closures in the early to mid-summer.
