Climbing the biggest cliff in New York state

Join me, Jaidon, and Izzy as we set off into the remote high peaks region of the Adirondacks to climb a cliff known as "Wallface", specifically a route called "The Diagonal" - 7 pitches, graded 5.8

I’ve been watching your videos a lot lately and you’ve totally inspires me to get out there and learn to climb. There’s a climbing gym pretty close to me, and I’m so excited to start😁😁

[@NoahKane]

Awesome Jacob! Let me know how it goes!

[@sambowen7341]

Valley uprising is the movie that got me into the climbing gym and now it’s a huge part of my life, highly recommend giving it a shot

[@gabrielpaster]

@@NoahKane what helps you to mentally be able to do this

[@vermelonYT]

@@NoahKane I have a question. How do you guy's get down the mountain afterwards

[@kidzvidz3262]

@@vermelonYT at 8:21 you can see the way he lowers himself down the cliff while hanging from the rope, the others follow him the same way which is how they get down. I hope that answered your question :)

[@OliverBergMusic]

Your videos are such a feel good moment of my day. Really inspiring and entertaining. Keep up the great work Noah!

[@NoahKane]

Appreciate the kind words dude!

[@connorobryan6619]

I really enjoy your videos dude, they get me stoked to climb outside! You really know how to capture that awesome feeling of climbing outside with your pals. Keep it up 🤘🏻

[@NoahKane]

Thanks so much connor!

[@SimonAPLee]

The Diagonal is a classic climb. Good work!

[@NoahKane]

Thanks simon!

[@wkgates]

This brings me back to my climbing days in college. I'm happy to see people enjoy it as I once did. And safely, too! Props to you fellas 👊

How do u get the rope back from the anchor

Legitimately the best climbing video I've seen

Amazing to watch. Full of peace and calmness.

Thanks for watching Adolfo!

Very impressive cliffs.You get a great view of them hiking over Indian Pass.

Awesome Video mate!

[@ilikecats1234h]

Very relaxing to watch at work 💪

[@pugby25]

Wow an Adirondacks vid, hell yeah! What dates did you go climbing? I was also climbing in the high peaks region this past weekend. Next time you're around the area check out Chapel Pond for some nice ropes and Mckenzie Pond for some bomber boulders

[@connorgarvin6136]

Mac pond is the best!

[@hikerdude5265]

I'm not a cliff climber but I've hiked that pass several times and admired Wall Face. The debris field under that cliff is amazing. Boulders the size of bused and houses all jumbled together with trees growing right over it and creating deep passageways and chambers. When you climb down to the debris field from the east side trail on Mount Marshal, the temperature drops a lot and quickly. In one of the those deep, very damp and cold chambers, we found blue ice showing evaporation pitting on a 90 degree August day! Indian Pass is deep between Marshal and Wall Face and runs north/ south so it gets very little direct sunlight anytime of the year. Blue ice is compressed ice and is associated with glacial accumulation so, it's incredible to think that ice survives throughout the year there. I can only imagine how old it actually is.

[@jacobhampshire39]

Thanks a lot for inspiring me to start I did it when I was young and loved it! Now I am having a birthday party and climbing at my local gym! 😁

[@NoahKane]

Cheers Jacob! Let me know how it all ends up going!

This makes me really anxious

8:38 scared the crap out of me

[@freddydorling9548]

I had a friend who was also a great believer in the snack rack, but he put two bananas in his harness with a locker, but we quickly learnt that this was a bad idea as the bananas promptly peeled themselves

[@dodo2829]

I found out that i like climbing, hiking and stuff, i found out that lately, but the problem is that my family are too scared to let me climb up mountains🙃 but one day I'll do it lol, ofc without them knowing.

[@stripeanderson]

I think there's quite a bit of fear around climbing when it stays mysterious - invite them on an easy hiking trip with you! and when you're comfortable and experiences, take them climbing 😊 I got into climbing right after I moved out of home, and although it initially scared my mom (I've taken her climbing since and introduced her to my climbing partner), she would rather know I'm doing it than do it in secret

[@stripeanderson]

Happy climbs!

Cool vid. What type of boots are you wearing?

[@biggierodman5775]

I have many questions.. Who installs those anchors on the rocks? How do you go descend? What do you do when your arms get tired? HOW DO YOU NOT FALL???

[@RenatoUtsch]

Have you tried using quickdraws with 30-45cm slings instead of the 12cm ones you're using in this video? It should significantly help with rope drag and isn't that expensive to buy since you don't need to buy new carabiners

[@paul20g20]

I dont understand how you bring the rope down. Is it not anchored/clipped in? How do you unclick it from the bottom?

[@zacwalclimbs8112]

Great video, as per usual! However I am wondering.... why is the 2nd follower "self-belaying?" with a progress capture? Or what kind of device are they using? You could just as easily put them on belay and treat them the same as the 1st follower. If you belayed with an ATC in guide mode you could belay both followers simultaneously, and they would stagger their starts. Unless I am missing something, which is why I'm asking the question! Cheers.

[@NoahKane]

For sure! We just didn't have a reverso atc with us so figured this would be the next best thing!

[@zacwalclimbs8112]

@@NoahKane why not belay them with your grigri?

[@AshVentureOfficial]

You have massive balls, I used to climb and do parkour but never rock climbing, I would love to have a go tho, any tips?

[@thekontrollers]

I'm not in this vid but here's some advice: Visit your local climbing gym. Get proficient there eventually climbing 5.10- 5.11 grades. Take all the classes there you can. Then ask an experienced climber take you outside for some top roping. Then take the Lead Class at your gym. Get proficient Lead climbing/belaying at the gym, Then start Sport Climbing outside with someone experienced. A Wilderness First Aid Course would be beneficial at this point. Learn how to build/clean Anchors. Learn to rapell, learn to self rescue etc. Then befriend a Trad Guru. Join the Climbing Occult know as TRAD. Sell your soul, pay for gas and convince a Trad climber to take you out for a climb as a "follower/cleaner". Sell all your possessions to climb full time. Make climbing friends, Climb high, get some exposure, Or you could just do something totally stupid and become a Boulderer.

[@AshVentureOfficial]

@@thekontrollers Hahaha, ya gave me a good chuckle ma dood, will have a go and I appreciate the info. I'll try my hardest to not sell my soul or become a boulder hahahaa.

Highest verticle cliff east of the rockies.

[@NoahKane]

I think the second highest - cannon cliff in new hampshire right? Also blow me down wall in Newfoundland is like 1,300 feet!

[@freeheel748]

The New York Atlas and Gazetteer says at 1200' Wallface is the highest precipice east of the rockies. ???

[@freeheel748]

Wallface prominence is listed as 690 feet while Cannon prominence is listed at 740 feet. Does the Cannon statistic include the talus field? Hmmmm.

was your 3rd rope soloing?

[@NoahKane]

Yes! It saved us a bit of time because the two followers could climb at the same time

[@gregorybacher2883]

As an unofficial 46er ( not 45er. *for sure* ) , I can say there is a certain animosity of hikers towards rock climbers defacing the rock faces.

Defacing with pitons and bolts?
