Chatiemac Cliff

Chatiemac Cliff is one of the premier steep climbing cliffs in the Adirondack Park (others include The Crown near Exit 30, The Honey Pot near Exit 31, Split Rock Canyon near Westport, and Underwood Canyon near Malfunction Junction). The main wall overhangs by 20 degrees, and some sections even more. Presently there are five 13s, two 12s, three 11s, and four 10s. The rock is generally good, with some plate-like features you find at nearby Crane Mountain, and some unique pockets. Unlike other steep crags, the overhanging rock at Chatiemac has solid holds. The routes are typically short, although there are some moderately long pitches.

The cliff is located on the southeastern-most ridge of Gore Mountain, in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness area.
