A classic by any stretch of the imagination and hard to find free on the weekend.
P1. Start up inside corner left of Thais and step left to stance with old pins at right edge of large roof. Don't trust the pins alone for belay!
P2. The crux of the route is likely stepping off the belay. Traverse left under roof to its end and another gear belay. Some like to bring a #4 camalot for the P2 belay.
P3. Climb up large holds on steep ground to top. This is a spectacular pitch.
Classic route. Not too difficult but great exposure. A must do at Seneca! Makes for a good view for the tourist at the Visitors Center.

This was the firtst route I ever tried to do at Seneca. Somehow I got the routes mixed up and did 'Direct Toe' (5.10b, R) by mistake. Needless to say, for a few moments, the rumors of Seneca Sandbagging certainly felt true. Only a year or two later did I finally get the right line. Felt a little hard at the grade, but not like a 10b!
