Table Rock is a bouldering area in New York, about 0.8 miles from the village of West End. It is a climbing destination rather than a trail, with 25 boulder problems spread across the site. The climbing here is all on boulders, and the problems range from V0 up to V6. The easiest is Buddha Belly Stand, and the hardest is Marathon, a V6 boulder with a first ascent by Bill Kuhn. The grade range is V0 to V6, with the median at V2, so the area suits climbers of all abilities who enjoy bouldering. The best weather for a day out is late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Emmons show September highs around 70°F with lows near 47°F and about 10 wet days, while July runs warmer, with highs near 78°F. Winter is cold, with January highs around 30°F. The Witches' Circle, another climbing area, is about a mile away. For hiking, the Emmons Pond Bog Trail is roughly 4 miles off, and the Mud Lake Trail and Ouleout Creek, a canoeing spot, are both within about 6 miles.
