SILVERLAKE{CLASSICS} STORY BY: JESSE LITTLETON


Richard Wilson on the third pitch of The Brazilian


In the Adirondack Park, halfway between Saranac Lake and Plattsburgh, lies an oasis of granite like none other. It’s off the beaten path, but still convenient to visit. Recently, there’s been a first ascent gold rush – Silver Lake has been open to climb- ers for more than two years now. In those two years, more than 130 routes have been documented. In fact, there are more climbs at Silver Lake than there are at the Beer Walls and Spider’s Web combined. You can easily climb high-quality routes for a full day at more than a dozen crags that exist at Silver Lake. These are some of the classics.
