Weekend on the Rocks: Classic Adirondack Routes


  • The Mountaineer 1866 NYS Rte 73 Keene Valley, NY (map)

Come spend two days sampling some of the Adirondacks’ finest rock climbs with Onward Mountain Guides! We’ll kick things off with a sampler of single-pitch classics in Keene Valley before stepping it up to multi-pitch routes on day two. Along the way, you’ll sharpen your technique with pro tips from a licensed guide, gain confidence on longer climbs, and get a taste of why the Adirondacks are one of the East’s premier climbing destinations.

Optional: Add on camping with your guide for the full adventure weekend vibe. We'll set up camp at the base of the crag, share dinner, commune around the campfire, and swap stories under the stars. 

Itinerary:

  • Day 1: Warm up on single-pitch gems in Keene Valley—perfect for dialing in movement and anchor systems.

  • Day 2: Take it higher with multi-pitch climbs. Learn the ropes of efficient transitions and rappelling while enjoying classic Adirondack exposure.

Possible routes and crags: Pete's Farewell on Pitchoff Chimney Cliff, Regular Route on Chapel Pond Slab, The Sword at the Beer Walls, North Country Club Crack at Jewels & Gems, and many more!
