Hooked on a Feeling

5.11+, Trad, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: unknown
W Virginia > Seneca Rocks > N Peak - W Face

Description

The crux presents itself as you pass the first bolt, a more skilled climber would surely find a static option but I went for an insecure dyno followed by sustained underclinging and edging through 2 more bolts. After the third bolt is a welcomed rest. The guidebook describes a rightward traverse to the chains of Negative Feedback but the more obvious line (not covered in lichen) heads to a small cave to the left. Note: originally rated 11c, I can barely keep a clear conscious when rating it 11+

Location

Start at a right facing corner on the left side of the wall, to the right of Silent But Deadly, same start as Negative Feedback, head straight over the overhang to the first bolt as the corner arcs right

Protection

3 bolts, medium-sized cams, bring a #2 cam for the last move
