Description

South-facing rock cliff on Bluff Island in Lower Saranac Lake. Plenty of cracks, much of the face is covered in lichen, but still has excellent holds. Traverse in from the East side or start by boat (when the water is calm enough). Excellent deep water soloing. Bomber trees up top for a TR, but need lots of webbing or rope to reach the edge.

Getting There

Access by boat only. Quickest access is from the boat launch at Lower Saranac on Second Pond. Multiple areas to pull up canoes or kayaks on the island. Approach is approximately 30 mins by canoe or kayak. Many campsites on nearby islands and shoreline available for quicker access, reserve online.
