More Than One Way Up

The first recorded ascent of Seneca Rocks was in 1939. Since then, climbers have explored a maze of more than four-hundred routes across its face. Some routes lead to the summit; others meet dead-ends. Climbers from around the world come to test their skills, spend time with friends, and enjoy the view at one of the most popular climbing locations in the eastern United States. Non-climbers can get a climber's eye-view by hiking up to the observation platform near the North Summit. Climbing routes should be attempted only by experienced climbers or with the aid of experienced guides.
