Atwell Boulders

Atwell Boulders

There is a grouping of large boulders known locally as Monument Park. The area is mentioned in Discover the Southwestern Adirondacks, which led to its "discovery" for bouldering by Neal Knitel, who cleaned and climbed many problems in the area in 2008.

Follow the approach to Ice Cave Mountain, but continue across the steel bridge in Atwell, over the earthen dam, to a small dirt road on the right just past a camp. At the fork, take the left branch and drive over the outlet of a small beaver dam to a small road on the left. Turn left and drive to the end of this road. The road is rough and impassable in high water, so one may have to park before the end.

The boulders are scattered in the woods, the largest being Haystack. There are a dozen or so problems from V0 to V1, and many open projects
