Rock
climbing in the Lake Champlain Vermont provides a unique set of challenges and
a variety of climbing experiences- all among incredible views. Surrounded by
the Adirondack Mountains of New York, the Green Mountains of Vermont, and
massive Lake Champlain Vermont, the region is home to dozens of routes, ranging
in difficulty, length and style.
If you're
looking for an adventure, check out the Split Rock Mountain Wild Forest in the
towns of Essex and Westport. Offering 3,700 acres of forest and miles of Lake
Champlain Vermont hiking trails to explore, you'll find a natural habitat full
of wildlife and rock slabs to conquer.
At
Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain, discover moderate-to-difficult multi-pitch rock and
ice climbs on the mountain's five hundred foot high south facing slab. On the
steeper eastern face, attempt difficult crack climbs, traditional mixed routes
and ice columns in winter. Just be aware that many routes are closed during
Peregrine Falcon nesting season so remember to check closures before heading
out.
Whether
you're a beginner or an experienced climber, the Lake Champlain Vermont offers
routes for people of all ability levels. If you're interested in a guided trip,
hire a licensed Adirondack guide for professional instruction and insider's
tips for some of the best rock climbing spots in the Adirondacks.
