Maybe this is not the correct place to post this, but I kind of consider this the message board for the Southern Adirondacks. There are 3 new routes at Shanty, just above (west of) the Sports area. They are within 20 ft of each other. The middle one goes straight up over a roof. 3 bolts then pull over the roof to clip in anchors, 5.7. The left one starts up then goes left, 6 bolts to clip in anchors, 5.7. One on right is harder, 5.10, face climb with 4 bolts to clip ins.

why is this posted under little falls? any route names? You should probably contact Jim Lawyer or Jeremy Haas with the info so that they can add it to the new routes on the Adirondack Rock web site.

Names, huh

Okay, keeping with the Shanty theme, for the middle climb that goes through the roof, in tribute to the great depression era writer, one of the great writers of all time, the name is

Grips of Wrath

In homage to the great song writer/singer Jimmie Rodgers the climb on the left is

Climbers Yodel #7

And since the climb on the right is tougher we will give it a hard name

Railroad Dickie


Blues chord procession please

If that’s your woman you better keep her by your side
If that’s your woman you better keep her by your side
Cause if she flags my belay I’m sure gonna let her climb

Apologies to Mr. Rodgers
