g. Enterprise Wall

New York > Gunks > Peterskill

Description

Shaded belay area, partially shaded routes, completely open top of cliff. Enterprise Wall has one of the few double-bolted anchors in Peterskill - but it's not in the right place for all the routes, and setting up more than one route on the bolts is unwise. There are plenty of placement opportunities for gear.

Getting There

Long way: exit lower parking lot to the left, follow carriage road with fence on your right, turn right onto blue/yellow-blazed trail at end of fence, follow trail past Breakfast Wall to small clearing. Continue to follow blazed trail along bottom of cliff. When you reach a slabby face with a dihedral on the right, and a cul-de-sac just past, you've arrived.

Short way: Exit upper parking lot at the far side, walk through meadow and past stream on carriage road, come to large clearing with information sign on left. Turn left and follow carriage road to marked access path (blue/yellow blaze) on right. Follow access path with cliff on left. When you reach a cul-de-sac with a dihedral and slabby face just past, you've arrived.

Approach time: Long way - 10 minutes, short way - 5 minutes.

[Hide Comment] Using the long static line I brought for the rest of area, setting up off the bolts was a breeze. I've seen guides set up multiple top ropes by using 1 bolt and 1 tree further back. Oct 27, 2015
