The cliff just below the summit of Snowy Mountain, the highest peak in the Adirondacks outside of the High Peaks, offers a great combination of an airy environment, great views, and unique rock full of interesting features like huecos that are very rare in the Adirondacks. Also unusual is that most of the routes on the cliff are entirely or almost entirely bolt-protected, so having the correct gear is much less of a concern. However, the price for this unique climbing is a long approach up a steep, eroded hiking trail. To access the base of the cliff, follow the trail for about 3.3 miles and look for a small campsite on the left. If you reach a large clearing, you have gone a little bit too far. A faint trail on the left leads across the east ridge and then down about 100 vertical feet to the open, grassy ledges at the bottom of the summit cliff, with additional steep slabs below.
