Climbing Routes

Seneca Rocks is a premier climbing area that is rich with history and best known for incredible multi-pitch trad routes that offer an old-school climbing feel. It is impressive, but intimidating and requires confident gear placement. The approach is steep and exposed- with some routes that require climbing a 5.2-5.5 to reach. The rock can be loose so be sure to bring your helmet. Camping, gear and guides are available at Seneca Shadows Campground or Yokum’s in town. Southern Pillar is located to the right off Roy Gap Road, while all other walls/routes are on the main cliff to the left. Look for a large boulder with a plaque and follow the short trail on the right to the base of the pillar. The rock is similar to the rest of Seneca and you will find a few classics that are worth doing. It gets shade till early afternoon.
