Anybody know of any ice climbing around the Speculator NY area. I know Snowy Mtn is in that area but have no idea about it's ice potential. If any one out there on the interweb could help a brotha looking to get some late season ice action in it would be appreciated.
There is a waterfall by Speculator that's not on any new map. Long approach, WI3ish. I honestly don't remember the name anymore. Took us forever to find that fucker. It's probably out by now.
thanks divamite, I figured alot of stuff might be out by now. I was hoping for something in the shade and north facing oh well I still got my topo maps may a late winter/ early spring recon mission is in order. Thanks for responding.
T Lake Falls is a long backcountry route down the road in Piseco, but the main line is likely just a steep ski descent this time of the year...there are steeper 1 pitch lines to climbers right, but it would be a looong way to ski and get "skunked" (but that's all part of the adventure...)
Google Little Cathead Mt just off the Upper Benson Rd outside Northville. There's a small cliffband above Woods Lake (maybe halfway up the mountainside) that gets ice. It faces SW and so may be toast, but who knows with this winter. There's 5 lines there (+/-) all 40 ft or so but mostly real steep.
Woods Lake lies at the edge of Lapland Lake XC Center which is a great way to spend part of the day, if you ski. Or the whole day, if the ice isn't worthwhile.
