Ascents in East Face having Beta

P1 only. Nice, a bit scary (by which I mean I had to change pants after) due to the huge pointy boulder at the bottom.

Easier than Old Man's IMHO. Not a ton of gear for someone new to leading, depending on how much faith you have in slung bushes.

My first lead at seneca

2nded Jason.

Great hand route, just wish it was longer. Been downgraded to 5.6 in the new Tony Barnes guidebook.

Micro Gear - tough 10c and a little dynamic to horizontal break. Crimper all the way - few fingers in crack - tips at best

OMG get gear down LOW - Lowe Tricam, a brown one I think...would do again. R for sure!

One of the BEST at Seneca!

OMG what a GREAT crack system! Sustained 5.8-9 finger crack

Dangerous loose blocks. Tough TR rigging.

Short and funky

Has been a first lead for several climbers

Easiest climb in that area

finishing straight up is better than going left

One of the easier 5.9's at Seneca

I have trouble finding the start

Fun, very exposed and airy.

Hard! Pumpy and very few feet, big moves, lots of fun.

Link up the start of Lichen or Leave it, and then the sequency but short finish of this climb for a sweet pitch of climbing.

Fun, nice to do laps on a sweet crack system.

Second pitch is the hard one
