    1. Mike- once winter decides to leave us alone, i'd love to show you guys some of the newness around the southern Adirondacks. There are numerous areas that I am confident you would be psyched on. You really need to see the boulders at Snowy Mountain as well...steep boulders with Hueco pockets- unreal for this area for sure!

  2. Loving all the MZ updates Jut!! How many climbable boulders are in the area? Any still undeveloped? And how are the problems themselves?.. it's hard to tell from pics sometimes. Vids of the steep wall looked pretty fun though.

    Also, while I'm here -- a big thank you to Murph, you, and your whole crew. I'm always grateful for new boulders, and I really appreciate all the effort you guys are putting in to find and develop them.

    1. Andrew, good to hear from you buddy! The Marble Zone is comprized mainly of short, steep outcrops and not really your trypical freestanding boulders. I have seen maybe a dozen or so actual boulders but a majority of the climbs will be on the overhanging outcrops. There is a bunch of rock in the immediate area and only a small portion has been cleaned/developed. This lingering snow is really putting a hault on our efforts.

      As for new areas- you know how we are! We will continue to search for new Adirondack Rock each and every year, we love this place! Looking forward to seeing you and your crew this season!
