Snow shoeing, skiing and ice climbing in the Daks
The Adirondaks offer climbing, skiing and snowshoeing opportunities at all levels of difficulty. Plans will include one long day over one of the higher peaks, possibly including sections of moderate angle ice. A second day may be spent on local ice crags.
We hope to have enough participants for two groups, offering a choice of objectives. The "less ambitious" can choose a day of lift-serviced skiing at Whiteface while the "more ambitious" can choose a ten hour forced march mountaineering route with a headlamp return.
