Loon Lake Mtn

Scenic, backcountry (2 hr approach) climbing on the smaller peak just east of the recently opened, 3350' elevation fire tower peak. The view from the fire tower is spectacular, and some of the rock can be seen from there. The approaches, however, leave the hiking trail about a mile before the summit. Rock is clean and grippy and generally offers solid gear. In addition to the large expanse of the slab, there are numerous small crags scattered around the peak. The best are described here; see Adirondack Rock's new routes page for more:http://www.adirondackrock.com/newroutes.htmThere is also a small amount of climbable rock on the smaller peak Northwest of the fire tower peak, but I'll leave that area as an exercise for those who wish to do their own exploring.
