Terrible photo however you can somewhat gauge the scale of the place. Across the way is the Southern Pillar that has some uber classics and the climbers you see are the far South end of South Peaks East Face at the base of Skyline Traverses first pitch. Minimum 4 pitches to the summit from here no matter how you take.

One of the most unique formations you'll ever see

Heavenly peanut butter pie at Gateway Restaurant, well worth the 15 minutes drive for breakfast or dinner.

A weird perspective. The summit on a beautiful day.

Routefinding at Seneca can be a challenge, especially in the rain.

This guy lived in the summit register for a few years, he was abducted from the top of Seneca Rocks by aliens. Anyone have more info or know where the photo came from?

Sign as you enter Seneca Rocks. In case of emergency call 911. But no one could get a cell phone signal here...
