Climbing Beautiful ADK Anorthosite

The Adirondacks' unique geology of new mountains, old rock have weathered beautiful exposures of anorthosite perfect for climbing! A Sunday well spent climbing the classic 3 pitch climb, "Pete's Farewell". I've always driven by and seen climbers on this route and it was cool to finally be up there myself. Not to mention, the views from 200ft up!
