Lake Champlain Palisades

This 200'-tall, sheer cliff drops into the waters of Lake Champlain on the easternmost edge of the Adirondack Park about 4.5 miles north of Westport. Facing southeast, it takes a long stretch of cold weather to form, and then bakes off quickly with the sun.

There are three major ice routes and potential for more mixed. The routes are 200' rope-stretchers, so some parties break the routes into two pitches.

Be warned: The approach is involved, and there's nothing easy.
