Description 

A classic by any stretch of the imagination and hard to find free on the weekend.

P1. Start up inside corner left of Thais and step left to stance with old pins at right edge of large roof. Don't trust the pins alone for belay!

P2. The crux of the route is likely stepping off the belay. Traverse left under roof to its end and another gear belay. Some like to bring a #4 camalot for the P2 belay.

P3. Climb up large holds on steep ground to top. This is a spectacular pitch.


Location 

Begins in corner up and left of Thais face.


Protection 

Std rack with possible addition of a #4 camalot.

Classic route. Not too difficult but great exposure. A must do at Seneca! Makes for a good view for the tourist at the Visitors Center.

This was the firtst route I ever tried to do at Seneca.
Somehow I got the routes mixed up and did 'Direct Toe' (5.10b, R) by mistake. Needless to say, for a few moments, the rumors of Seneca Sandbagging certainly felt true.
Only a year or two later did I finally get the right line. Felt a little hard at the grade, but not like a 10b!

the first pitch pales in comparison to the exposure and wild nature of the second and third pitches but still manages to have some fun somewhat runout moves in the corner below the belay. looking at the ominous roof from a distance, it's hard to believe that it goes at anything below 5.10, but jugs abound and the feet are solid the entire traverse. absolutely classic. even the rap over the big roof is pretty sweet (be sure to bring two 60's for it!)

Very cool climb, both P2 and P3. The climbing is a little strange under the huge roof, but such a cool view. I thought the start of the third pitch was the crux, moving from the belay- my partner had set up a very hanging belay just below the buldge. This made it dificult, but do-able. Definitely a great all around climb. Though, I would find different pitch to climb to the first belay.

Fun climb. For the hanging belay after the second pitch I used number 4 tcu's for the anchor.
