Belleview Slab is a climbing area in the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits among a cluster of other climbing areas, including Lower Measles Wall, Belleview and Under the Measles Wall, all within about a tenth of a mile. Sky High Wall is about 0.2 miles away. The area has 10 routes, with eight of them done in trad style and one each in sport and mixed. Grades run from 5.3 up to 5.10b/c. Among the named routes are Glee Club Crack at 5.3 and Lawyers, Guns, and Money at 5.10b/c. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 75°F with lows near 54°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. That station sits about 800 feet lower than the slab, so temperatures on the slab run cooler.
