2 out of 5 stars Tricky moves

Hard for a warmup. Has a tricky moves at 1st and 2nd bolt. Moves better once you get past the crux.

2 out of 5 stars Decent warmup if available

If Hippie Dreams and That Eight are taken, this is the next viable moderate warmup.

Ok warmup if Hippie Dreams is taken. Takes longer to dry than the routes at Orange Oswald wall.

5 out of 5 stars Instant Classic!

One of my top three favorite routes at the New. A great warmup for the surrounding climbs as there are great rests all the way up the climb.

5 out of 5 stars Serious Mental Challenge

Tough mental challenge even for Seneca standards. Make sure to protect the second on the way down to the belay station on the 2nd pitch. Used a ton of gear on this one both climbing and at the belay station.

4 out of 5 stars Mentally Intimidating, Physically Reasonable

When you first look at the double roof from the slab below, it looks ridiculously intimidating. But once you make the moves it is really all there. A must do if the route is open!

2 out of 5 stars Awkward and Wandering

Route wanders a bit and is bit awkward. The better warmup is the climb to the right.
