Chapel Pond, Adirondacks N.Y.:

Climb the Empress (5.5), Greensleeves (5.6) or the Regular Route (5.5).  These are classic Adirondack slab climbs in a beautiful location with a short approach. All three climbs are 6-7 pitches long.

Rogers Rock, Lake George N.Y.:

Climb Little Finger (5.5). This is a climb like no other in the East.  With a canoe approach and climbing right above Lake George, Little Finger is all about great rock and amazing views.

Wallface, Adirondacks N.Y.:

Climb Diagonal (5.8) or the Case Route (5.4)  Climbing at Wallface requires a 4.5 mile hike and a overnight in the back-country.  This is New York's biggest cliff in a remote setting.  Diagonal and the Case Route are both 8 pitches long with a full day commitment.

Mt. Washington, White Mountains N.H.:

N.E. Ridge of the Pinnacle Buttress (5.7) follows the rock ridge of the famous Pinnacle Gully ice climb on Mt. Washington in Huntington's Ravine. It's a full day adventure into a beautiful alpine environment. With a 2 hour hike in and 7 pitches of climbing.

Crawford Notch, N.H.:

Lost in the Sun (5.5) located on Mt. Willard in Crawford Notch is this 7 pitch climb with bolted belays and moderate slab climbing. This is a great route for beginner's with some multi-pitch experience to climb.

Cannon Cliff Franconia Notch, N.H.: Climb the Whitney-Gilman Ridge (5.7) 5 pitches.  The Whitney-Gilman Ridge is New England's classic must do ridge climb.

Ragged Mountain, C.T.:

Ragged Mountain is a great area to learn top rope anchor building and rock climbing in a single pitch setting.  The approach is easy and the rock climbing is amazing.

Warning: Rock climbing is inherently dangerous. All those who participate in rock climbing with Mountain Skills Climbing Guides do so at their own risk.
