Description

The Pandemic Block sits about 10ft off of Forest Home Road. From the road this boulder appears mossy and unappealing. However the South side that faces away from the road sports a clean, high quality rock face that's slightly overhanging. The South side of the boulder is about 10ft tall with a very flat base/landing. There are three independent lines and many more variations. The easiest descent is off the East side, using a tree for help. The location of this boulder makes it very likely that it was climbed on before 2020. Although, perhaps not, since several "holds" came off easily during the initial cleaning...

Getting There

Take Forest Home Road from either Saranac Lake or Lake Clear. Once on Forest Home Road there is a very obvious pull off on the South side of the road 3.1 miles if coming from Saranac Lake. If coming from Lake Clear the pull off is 4.7 miles. The Pandemic Block is 10ft off the road, 200ft West of the pull off, towards Lake Clear.
