About Little Falls:
|
This is a nice area to climb and one of the only ones between The Gunks and The Adirondacks. It's best known for its most popular cliff, Moss Island, a band of rocks on the Mohawk River. However other areas to climb do exist. Almost anything can be top-roped and with almost 120 routes packed into a 900 foot long stretch of rocks you'll find something for everyone. Most things can be lead with traditional gear and there are a handful of sport routes in the area as well.
