Introduction: In the winter of 2004, a skier stumbled across some large huecoed granite boulders in the Indian Lake region of New York. The following spring keeping the boulders hushhush, a few of the obvious lines were sent. The following spring two backcountry skiers again stumbled across the same boulders, though this time spreading the word among the local bouldering community. Due to the poor quality of the rock again only a few of the obvious lines were sent. In the spring of 2006 a resurgence of bouldering at snowy mountain occurred. Within a month roughly 30 high quailty problems were put up with 18 of the problems being v7 or harder. The major contributors to bouldering at snowy included kiPpY, Peaches, PMK, Buzz, tino and in a one day send fest, Andy Salo repeated almost all the lines and established eight others. While this area does boast a dozen amazing problems and one of the best v7's in the east, bouldering at snowy is by no means a destination area. Though, if one is in the Indian Lake region, snowy mountain should not be missed. While visiting one should not miss Never been to hueco (v7), Ihopp (v7/8), Coitus (v7), POW (v6),S.M.A.C. v8(sit to POW), Never left hueco (V9), and the Con2 project (v10??). Directions: Traveling north to indian lake on rt 28, take a left on to rt 30 south (after the stewarts). Drive approximately 6.5 miles and you will see parking for the snowy mountain trail head. Half a mile past the trail head parking will be a guardrail on your right, 500 feet past that will be a square green mile marker numbered 1425, park here. Approaching Indian Lake from the west, traveling north on rt 8 to route 30. Drive approximately 16 miles. You will see a sign that reads snowy mountain trail head parking mile. Turn your car around and park as directed from the guardrail section. Finding the boulders: Follow the orange blazed trail. It should take roughly 15 minutes to reach the boulders. Season: Fall and spring are the best times to visit, though unlike other areas in southern adirondacks the bugs are not too bad. Bring some bug spray and you will be fine. Amenities: There is a Stewarts in Indian Lake, beside that there is not that much. However in Warrensburg there is a fine bakery/sandwich shop named Mountain Sun Cafe and Bakery.
