P1: Medium to big pieces for wide flake. Or ask at The Gendarme (gear shop) for a "Soler Pipe"

Description:
Wide (5-7"?) first pitch has spit many off with ankle busting consequences. Bring the big stuff or be prepared to run out solid 5.7 laybacking for about 25 feet. Belay on top of the flake with placed gear, or continue traversing right to two bolts (better). The second pitch is wonderful. The holds are incut, the exposure is huge, and the pro is solid. Spits you out directly on the summit. Enjoy this true classic. To avoid the first wide pitch, climb the first pitch of Conn's East, a very aesthetic start that ends at the bolts described above. Why the hell would anyone want to miss the 1st pitch, huge gear episode? You gotta do it! Take a green Big Bro and a purple #4 camalot and your cool... One of the best routes at Seneca and named after a master...done by Tony Soler in 1951 freaking AWESOME!

great, great climb.
swung leads with Nate. i took 1st plus a little too far. NC took 2nd pitch, though we started about 40 feet too far right and ended up making a spicy tranverse back left.

As good as they say
What a great route. Didn't have the big gear for the 1st pitch so used what I could and ran it out. Camped out in line at the top of the first pitch but loved the second pitch. Great time.
