Mount Colden is considered the first Adirondacks climbing site (since 1850). It is the 11th highest peak of the region. It offers exceptional quality alpine routes that require a good physical condition in order to attain the summit without having to be an advanced technical climber.
The approach is done by skis or by snowshoes. Conditions are super variables and can range from many inches of snow to fully icy. No matter what, you will have a lot a fun and will live an exceptional experience with us.
