Description Suggest change

An "easy 5.7" by Seneca standards. Greenwall is in the shade for a large portion of the day, and is fairly protected from the wind.

There are two starts.  The original start is the same as Tomato, below and just to the right of the large flake.  The other start is lower down and to the right at an obvious flat area.  This adds a bit of crack climbing spice to the start to gain the main corner of the first pitch.

1st Pitch

Go up a short corner system, keeping right of the larger flake that makes up pitch 1 of Tomato. Climb the corner, using either the inside crack, the middle crack, or staying a bit further right.  It's all in the 5.6-5.7 range and the crux of this pitch. Traverse across the large ledge above and belay as close to the corner as you can. Save some medium size pieces for the anchor.  There a couple small trees on the ledge but the one that was previously a main part of the anchor has died.

2nd Pitch

Climb the corner and left facing face thru the intimidating looking bulge (crux). Continue up the corner system to a recess with some loose rock around (use caution!).  Build your anchor here.

3rd Pitch

Boulder/scramble up the remaining 20-30 ft onto the proper summit.  There is a set of anchor bolts in the vicinity (used for rappelling with two ropes down over the PO Wall) or you can build an anchor at the summit register area.

Location Suggest change

Green Wall follows a couple of corner systems, besides the large bare green face on the north end of the south Peak of Seneca.

Protection Suggest change

Gear up to 3 inches for the second belay.
