Access Issue: The approach described over Crane Mountain is entirely on state land. However tempting, do not use the easier approaches from the east or west.
Details
There has been confusion about access to Huckleberry Mountain ever since it appeared in early hiking guides. There is an historic ruin of an old paint mine in this valley near the cliffs, and it's a popular hiking destination. Subsequent climbing guidebooks piggy-backed on this approach.
These approaches cross private property and are closed to the public. The only known legitimate approach to Huckleberry is described below and in the 2nd printing of Adirondack Rock.

Description
No gear here - just a solo up white slab for 200' to the top of Huckleberry Mt. Nice setting to a great view.
Location
at the end of the main cliff, right of the "Hard Guy" Wall, there is a dirty, chossy gully that provides access to the forest above the Main Wall. Spy the white slabby cliff above and make your way over there. Downclimb the route or make your way through trees/dirt back to the top of the gulley.
