FA: Eddie Begoon, Darell Hensley, Tom Cecil
W Virginia > Seneca Rocks > S Peak - E Face > Upper Broadway

Description

Some of the best hard face climbing Seneca has to offer! Climb the start of High Test to reach the sickle ledge. From the ledge head straight up following a line of 4 bolts past incredibly thin, and delicate moves that don’t let up until the very end. The route finishes on a small ledge about 10-15ft up and left of the last bolt. Save a .5, .75, and a #1 to build an anchor on the ledge in the corner.  

Location

Shares a start with High Test on the right side of the Upper Broadway Ledge. 

Protection

4 bolts, stoppers, .3”-1” cams, doubles of .5, no anchor.

[Hide Comment] Another sick one from the Honemaster and company. very technical thin climbing that stays with you. would be curious to know if anyone went straight up after the horizontal break. Jun 13, 2023
