This one doesn't get enough credit. One of the best routes I've done at Seneca.

Red Point ascent by:

We were saving this for an onsight. We went for it last Nov and failed. We just weren't climbing well, so we bailed in order to save it for another day. Got back on it last weekend and sent. The key for me was figuring out how to play the gear when in the crux.

Another nice day.
Be careful placing gear on the first pitch lots of hollow sounding rock.

Great fun.
Great route. Did the 1st and 3rd pitch. Looks like lots of people sneak out left of the final roof. Don't do it! Go right through the middle, its freakin' great.
