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

Random climber

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.

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?
