Climbing Near Syracuse, New York

This is not the greatest area in the world to boulder but there are some definite beginner-intermediate problems here. The rock is limestone with some shale. The area is located in the shade and is never busy. The rock wall tops out at 17 feet at the mid section. Bring bug spray or this area will be a nightmare in the summer. Definitely something close if you are a climber in the SU area and are tired pumping plastic. From Syracuse find and take NY-173 E/ E Senaca Turnpike. Clark Reservation will be on the left 1 mile before you hit Jamesville. Continue on the paved road past a fee collection shack (never anyone there). Park in the lot and walk to the main trailhead (pretty obvious).For the original wall: Take the first path to the left (about 100 ft in) and then walk about 400 ft on that path. Before crossing the bridge look to the left and that's it.For Lake Gulley: Walk down the edge trail with the lake on your right. When you reach the picnic table turn left
