Description Suggest change

Probably the longest single pitch at Seneca and a wildly exposed one at that! The route shares the same start as Dracula (Beach) and begins by traversing left underneath a roof past a couple of pieces of gear to reach the first few bolts. However, instead of continuing left to merge with the crux of Muscle Beach after the second bolt, continue straight up past the third bolt and the small roof through a very cruxy and athletic sequence of slopers, crimps, and dead points. Once you've reached the fourth bolt the hardest section of climbing is done but the route doesn't exactly let up. From here the route continues with sustained and varied 5.11 climbing but it becomes significantly more runout (very big but clean falls) between the bolts with zero good gear options until you reach the sixth and final bolt. After the sixth bolt the climbing backs off and the route continues to the top of the cliff on gear. Make sure to bring lots of long alpine draws or rope drag will be an issue. 

Location Suggest change

Located on the South End on the left side of the cave, the route shares a Start with Dracula (Beach) just left of Superstition and just right of Muscle Beach 

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts, .3-1 size cams, doubles of .75/1, stoppers, lots of long alpine draws, no anchor
