New York > Adirondacks > G: Indian Lake… > Crane Mountain > Measles Walls > Upper Measles Wall

Description

Thoroughly scrubbed, this might be a good first trad lead. In its present condition, it cannot be recommended.
Scramble up the boulders to a stance left of the spruce tree. Follow a left-rising ramp 15' to its junction with a right-rising crack. Take the crack up to the top.

Location

Near the extreme left end of the cliff is a mossy notch up broken rock leading to a stance beside a spruce tree. This is left of and below a large, right-slanting overhang.
One can walk off either left or right, or use the big pine fixed anchor to rappel.

Protection

Standard trad rack. Use plenty of runners.
There is a fixed anchor on a big pine tree 30' right of the topout; though one should not belay here.
