Wallface Mountain is a prominent peak located in the North American Plains mountain range. With an elevation of approximately 1,600 meters (5,300 feet), it offers a challenging climb for mountaineers. The mountain is known for its impressive size, with a vertical rise of around 900 meters (3,000 feet) from its base to its summit.

During the winter season, Wallface Mountain experiences a significant snowpack range. The accumulation of snow can vary depending on the weather conditions, but it is not uncommon for the mountain to receive several meters of snowfall. This makes it an attractive destination for winter mountaineering and snowshoeing enthusiasts.

Wallface Mountain feeds several creeks and rivers in the surrounding area through its runoff. It contributes to the flow of the Opalescent River, which is known for its scenic beauty and is popular among kayakers and canoeists. The mountain's melting snow also feeds into the Cold River, adding to its flow during the spring and early summer months.

Regarding its name, Wallface Mountain derives its title from the rugged cliff face that spans its northern slopes. This cliff, known as the Wallface, is one of the largest in the Adirondack Mountains, measuring around 1,200 meters (4,000 feet) in height. This feature has attracted climbers and has a rich history of technical ascents and treacherous routes. The mountain's name and the lore surrounding it add to the allure of Wallface Mountain, making it a sought-after destination for mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
