Ascent Notes for: High Test - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.67/5

Classic seneca 9+; harder that some of its neighboring ten's.

Awesome climb - stellar moves, and heady. Climbed with single rope, no drag issues. Low crux to ledge seemed height dependent (easy if taller). Moving through bulge up high seemed harder. Put this climb at the top of your ticklist and showcase your send on your mantle for everyone to see.

great climb stout for the grade but good

.

5.9 ++ (super thin difficult start harder than castor) had me questioning my gear. some could call it PG, but more just like finicky gear and the hard moves coming well above your pieces (10+ feet) trust the face climbing, combine the pitches and take lots of long runners. a 65m rope got us down to the castor/pollox ledge. might be my most committing seneca lead to date. SUSTAINED GREATNESS

harder than Pollux

fun

Hard Start. 1 Fall on a nut.

A great route with three distinctive sections. The first being the thin start the second the flake and face to the undercling. The face is classic Seneca face climbing. The final pumpy corner has left many a 5.9 leader pumped and shaking with less then great gear. Hopefully, you didn't layback the corner!

Battling some uncertainty as to whether or not my pro was good, or whether I'd have enough gear....but the route went well...solid 5.9 moves, and plenty of them to bump it up to 5.9+. Gear was good, but you just had to work it a bit.
