Pharaoh Mt Ice route, Adirondack NY

Me and some buddies just hit this route
Pharaoh Mt



Great ice climb!, 3 pitches, NEI 3 or 4 to NEI 2 to NEI 3 Classic, and fat.
We did the approach from E Shore Drive and the Spectacle pond trail head. This leads you on an obvious trail over 3 wooden bridges to Spectacle pond. We set up camp for 1 night on the Mt side of spectacle. This left us with about a 2 mile hike to the route. We should hiked closer. There is another pond between Spectacle and Pharaoh Mt, The mountain side of this pond has some open clearings and would have left us with less than a mile approach. Next time.
