Photo of yours truly leading the 3rd pitch of Ecstasy, a classic Seneca 5.7, July 2006.

Don and I on P2 of ecstacy after bringing up the loud hung over british Guy, I mean Jason. Hah hah Just kidding Jason. But not really.

Just about at the top of this stellar Seneca Rocks 5.7, tradmaster Dan takes a second to reflect...on Seneca's wild exposure!

Ballzy lead if you ask me.

Easily identifiable route - a bonus for me!

I'm smiling because I feel great. This photo was taken on a good weekend during chemo. Thrilled to be alive and to be outside. This was my first trip to Seneca Rocks.

This was Chili cookoff weekend last year on sunday cause it drizzled all day saturday but it was way windy and cold. The pro was awesome and so were the moves. Very classic Seneca 8.

My first weekend of trad leading. And my first weekend at Seneca when it was sunny and warm. (Photo taken by my 3rd)

what can I say; classic climb. 3 stars

climbing Ye Gods and Little Fishes, my partner Larry had sunk the stoppers so well, I thought I would never get to the top.

Here is Andrew looking for a placement on Ye Gods and Little Fishes at Seneca.

Great climbing, exposure, a classic. I climb it several times a year.

This is a 5.5 route named Candy Corner at Seneca, but it scared the crap outta me. I had never placed gear before; only seconded a bunch of times. Typical first timer, I placed too much gear low and had to run it out at the end. The crux was the fact that this route kept bowing out, but afterwards I was glowing like crazy! Taken by Tim Aiello.

the first pitch and 2nd pitch are visible here. We free soloed the first 20 feet to a nice ledge then set up there. Brian from NRP led the whole thing. Was much more interesting as a single pitch.

Right next to drop zone, we discovered first hand how it earned its name. Lily was six inches away from being squashed like a bug by a bowling ball-sized rock. Photo by Boer

I took this from Ecstasy, and I think it is someone on LSD, although maybe it is Candy Corner? I have only been there twice now, so I am not entirely familiar with the climbs.

Great Times!
