Heel Hooks not Needed
Fun route on great boulder. Rock is sharp, bring tape.
This route may require a lit of extension but doesn't require any difficult heel hooks except maybe a little help if resting.

Seneca's Hardest 5.5
Guidebook marks Banana as a 5.4 classic. Be prepared for 5.7 on loose rock. Banana is a single pitch on a right facing flake. Can be lead with cams or just a set of BD stoppers.
Caution. Most of the upper half of the flake is loose. I avoided placing active gear here. Placed a few stoppers below and above it.
Second part of the pitch past first large tree has small Lykens covering it. Take small BD stoppers. One old piton is available.
This half of the pitch is probably 5.8. Rappel from here or traverse and take Gun Sight to South Peak in one additional pitch.

Green Wall- Seneca Classic
A Seneca Classic! Pitch 1 and 2 the easiest. Pitch #2 is the money pitch. My first lead ever was a blast. Great protection on good rock. Take your time and enjoy the exposure. Great route for newcomers.

The Hooker
Easy route with rough top out. More sketchy than hard. Was able to skip the middle crimp and just heel hook and reach for the top. Feels more of a 2+ than a full three. Just my opinion.

Sketchy at best?
Grit and Bare It is a pretty good name for a route that features PG13 to R rated run outs. The route is most easily clmibed straight up the middle, not starying too far right or left. Yet none of that matters once raching the sloping sketchy run out to the top!

Always Greener On The Other Side
The Green Piece is another fun climb. Includes some thin crimps and slopers to keep it interesting. Got the onsight just before dark.

I Totalled Tammy
Great climb on thin crimps. I love how it can be a little more balancy and technical.
