Case Wall Rock Climbing

When traveling south on NY 73 from Keene Valley, park at the first parking lot on the right after the Roaring Brook Falls parking area (the trailhead for the AMR and Giant Mountain). When traveling toward Keene Valley, this is the first parking on the left after the Beer Walls parking. This is a huge pullout (44.147279, -73.759463) and there's never anyone parked here, as it serves no trailhead.

[Note as of 2019: Due to new parking restrictions along NY 73, this previously-never-used parking area is now used by hikers when the Roaring Brook Falls / AMR parking fills up. So you may have to park at one of the Beer Walls lots and hike down, assuming those aren't also filled with hikers.]

From the parking, walk uphill to the height of land (roughly parallel to NY 73), then follow the ridge parallel to the road towards Keene Valley. After 5 min, descend the other side of the ridge into a canyon that runs parallel to the ridge. Follow this canyon towards Keene Valley to a large boulder; here, the canyon doglegs left and becomes a gully, going steeply down with cliffs on both sides. At the mouth of the gully, turn skier's left and follow the base of the cliff upcanyon to an immense, 130'-tall right-facing corner, the left wall of which overhangs. The chimney in this corner is Gunpowder Corner, a historic route that isn't really climbable in its present condition.
