Seneca Rocks is a beautiful place. The steep vertical cracks are reminiscent of climbing in the West. It has two main summits, the North Summit and the South Summit. The North Summit can be reached by hiking up the trail which has a short 3rd Class section near the end. The total elevation gain is about 900 feet. The South Summit can only be accessed by technical 5th Class climbing, though relatively easy at 5.2. There is a summit register at the top of the South Summit.
