Lookout is a bouldering area in the Ferris Lake Wild Forest in northern New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The surrounding land is a cluster of climbing spots, with the Nick Stoner, Residue Boulder and Wall Boulder areas all about a tenth of a mile away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Gloversville show July highs around 77°F with lows near 56°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 18 routes ranging from V0 to V4. Among them are Exclamation Point at V0 and Cherokee Challenge at V4. The Long Lake Crossover Trail and Long Lake Trail are about 2.4 to 2.6 miles away for anyone who wants to pair a day of bouldering with a hike.
