4 out of 5 stars Mentally Intimidating, Physically Reasonable

When you first look at the double roof from the slab below, it looks ridiculously intimidating. But once you make the moves it is really all there. A must do if the route is open!

5 out of 5 stars one longgggg pitch

Did this in one pitch, got a bit of rope drag at the top but stopping below the roof seemed a but choosy

5 out of 5 stars seconded 1st pitch, led 2/3rd pitches

great climbs! first pitch is very cool crack climbing, second pitch is some pretty hefty roof-pulling.

4 out of 5 stars Nice overhang

First trip to Seneca Rocks, WV. I followed this route the first time and have led it twice since then. Great little overhang. Easy approach hike.

5 out of 5 stars rad roofs

climb in 2 or 3 pitches. Roof is burly dynamic off of great pro, questionably 5.7, smooth finish at bolts. Watch that loose feeling block at the second roof...
as stated, one of the best 5.7's around.
