Stewarts Ledge Rock Climbing

Most climbers will be travelling  via  the major north south highway,  # 87 to get to Stewarts Ledge … leave 87 at exit 21 and take 9N (north/east) briefly, then left (north toward  Lake George) on highway #9, 1/3 mile later turn right onto # 9L. Travel along 9L as it scenically follows the shoreline (also called E Shore Drive then Ridge Road) for 7 miles,. At the junction  with Pilot Knob Road hook left, don't worry about the "NO EXIT" sign. Follow Pilot Knob Rd (CR #32) for 3.5 miles …then  park at Buck Mountain Trailhead. Popular place on nice days.
   Follow the main hiking  trail for 200 yards then turn right,(you should be at a 4-way hiking intersection)  … continue gently uphill until you see the beginning of the cliff line on your left ( 7 minutes), most of the climbs are a little farther along and can be seen from the trail. Find a path through the small talus field .. or just make your own way through, don't be surprised to see a steady stream of passing  hikers on nice days.
   There is a crude established trail which hugs the cliff  along the base of the popular climbs.
