3 out of 5 stars Easy

This was a quick, easy climb. You can almost walk up the rock. I'd put this at a 5.6 or so.

3 out of 5 stars Weird

I thought the start was a little tricky (if you don't use the crack). After the third bolt the climb "ends" until you scramble over the cliff to a second section.

3 out of 5 stars Tough Start

I found the start to be tough...took me quite a few tries to get it. The rest of the climb is easy. Second crux near the top requires good footwork.

3 out of 5 stars One Crux Move

Once you gain the undercling, use your left hand in the huge upward positive pocket, get your left foot high into the small pocket-feature just below the horizontal crack, weight shift onto your left foot and make the move to get your right hand up into the crack. After this move the climb is a easy.

3 out of 5 stars Not that great

The traverse start is significantly easier than the direct route. Direct route would make this a 10a. Once you gain the first ledge, the rest of the climb is cake.

I don't remember liking this route as much as it was touted.

5 out of 5 stars Tough Warm Up

Used this to warm up on the third day of climbing on Labor Day weekend and kicked my butt. Easy start to a nice ledge...make sure you get your breath and shake out before heading up the rest of the route. Great hands meant I used arms more than legs and ended up pumped out by the top.

5 out of 5 stars Deserves all 3 Stars

This climb is definitely worth it. Tough bouldering start requiring some good balance and staying close to the wall. Great, positive hands most of the way up with a second crux up near the bolts.

5 out of 5 stars Can't Believe it's a 5.3

I guess the height and exposure cause the grades to jump, but Geeze. First Seneca climb and I'm definitely not going to jump out on 5.9's like I do on sport!! After this guy, I'm probably jumping down to 5.4's for trad leading up here.
