For several years now I have read about the climbing on a large cliff in the Adirondacks - Wallface. Wallface Mountain is in the High Peaks region, and the cliffs on the southeast side are the tallest sheer cliffs in New York. There is 700+ feet of steep rock and it is indeed impressive! Of course the wilderness setting is what really defines the place. We hiked in the easy way, from the south - a little more than 4 miles from the Upper Works trailhead. We camped in the pass below the cliff and started our approach and climb the next day, descending and hiking out late that evening. I will be posting a full trip report with all the details soon. Until then, here are a few snapshots to serve as teasers.
