In reply to: Crater. you shouldn't pitch any blocks unless they come off with your bare hands. If you have to use a pry bar or a jack that rock was meant to be there. Nothing wrong with that rattely chockstone in the 2nd west pole overhang :twisted:
Ok then, dynamite is not on the list of items you shouldn't use to trundle rocks with. Good...I'm loading up the Nitro and deploying the Alien. Chockstone on West Pole will join the ranks of the Gendarme and the upper face of Thais Corner, dust in the wind.
In reply to: Why do so many people think they have climbed west pole when they get to the rap tree? the direct finish is a must do 8^)
Same with...The Prune, 2nd pitch and out. Neck Press 1st pitch and out (sometimes the 2nd but hardly the third)
Crater - I'd say wait until the new guide book comes out before you trundle the chockstone so you can "F" with peoples heads about the grading of the climb which will help promote incessant threads on chat forums about Seneca's sandbagged routes.

the last pitch of prune is totaly classic, Nice steep OW and a cool summit. does make getting down a bit trickier but that is part of the Seneca attraction for me 8^)
