I am a skittish brute who sometimes keeps a kayak helmet on while bouldering in approach shoes and I would love to watch someone with more skill and more of a gymnast's profile do this (aka a boulderer). As a climber, it's a basic mantle that feels like a lot of traditional top-outs further north and as such I do it with the same panicked hyperventilation and drama as if I were way out and hoping for clumps of moss or a pathetic tree capable of somehow forgiving the lifetime of bad decisions that put me there.

The Redneck Riviera

I got creeped out, it's a long walk down with an ankle injury... open.

 Line is on the right, there is a far easier line / descent in the corner & arete just to the left.

A bit contrived, stay out of the redneck's crack

Start low an stay left (big horizontals center and right are a ladder). Everything on the left of face is in, avoid the tempting arete that makes "I Like Kite"

Most obvious of several clear lines and one open project. MP asks for a first ascent date but I am sure this thing has been trafficked by crazy uncles since the 60's. I have been going for years (first real effort 2001, and haven't seen much chalk since) and try to keep it clean.

If bouldering were popular in the 50's, this one would have come complete with waitresses on roller skates.Less than half way up the mountain there's the "Narrows Vista Lookout" with the boulder smack dab in the middle like a diner table.I honestly can't stand bouldering, but this thing is so fun and easy to get to that I highly suggest putting $10 in the bucket and driving up if you're in town (Lake George Village) for any reason.It's also a perfect spot for a picnic; we often bring 20 feet of line and toddler harnesses / helmets as the 3rd class sides are a fun intro for kids (use your head). It's also walk-able on the road year round with strollers (~45 mins from the closed gate near the cemetery at the bottom of the Veterans Memorial Highway).Just down the road a hundred feet is the Covid wall, although it's choss and I would avoid this completely any time the road is open.
