Red Point ascent by:
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!

seconded 1st pitch, led 2/3rd pitches
great climbs! first pitch is very cool crack climbing, second pitch is some pretty hefty roof-pulling.

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.
