+1 what brian said. I visit seneca often because of the alpinesque environment. Great feel to the place. The west face on south peak isn't bad. Proof is: I've climbed up and down senecas south peak and never once pulled loose rock! The most dangerous area is where ye gods and candy corner are. Avoid there (unless your routes there...) and you'll have a fine time.

There on a crowded day? Learn the keyholes and link ups and there is always something free that you'll like on one face or the other for sure.

Seneca's great if trad climbing is your thing. If you like to clip bolts then NRG is just down the road.

Seneca is fun when it's not raining, hot, or humid, on the annual fine day.
