Boulders in Between Brighton and Paul Smiths

Spotted these from Rt. 86 and had to go check them out. A week or so later, we went and found a few decent boulders with holds, and cracks. However, most of the boulders need a LOT of cleaning...

Cobble Mt. - Lake Placid

I hike Cobble Mt once a week or so and always eyeball the boulders just below the summit slab. Instead of making the usual trek over to Mackenzie Pond, I decided to scrub away at a few spots over on Cobble. They still need a lot more cleaning. I've only had one session on them, and they are all very well featured.



From the bench just below the summit, there is a drainage ditch that heads south towards rt. 86 where there are some pretty legit sized boulders.

Around the base of the mountain facing route 86 is a dauntingly big overhung wall that has two bolted sport routes on it (connection - 5.12c, and reciprocity 5.12d). The height of the wall decreases in either direction and there is definitely potential for some high-ball problems and short sport routes (3-4 bolts). (first two photos)
