Description While Marshall's Madness and Crack of Dawn are two separate routes, by far and away the most classic way to climb them is to link one into the other and that is how they are described here. Begin near the arete left of Triple S. P1: Climb steep rock to a belay stance (a short pitch). P2: Continue up the cracks and step right to the overhang. Pull this overhang via a handcrack (steep, obvious from the ground) and continue to the top. Bolted anchor.
Protection Standard rack.

| One of my favorite routes at Seneca. Take a few 3" cams for the superb jamming section. |

| Doing this in one long pitch is the way to go. Great climbing. Pumpy. |

| The FFA of Marshalls Madness was done in 1955!? Wow! Hemp ropes around the chest, hiking boots, and iron pitons. Hats off! |

| While these two climbs share the same start, Marshalls is a fun climb in its own right straight up from the belay. Both are classics! |

| Good amount of exposure up high on this one. Definately a Seneca classic, terrific line. |
