| Sam Page | Subjective hazard  | |
| I hiked up here in winter 1998/9. While on my way up, some adolescents were lobbing rocks down in my direction from the summit. I assume that they didn't know I was there. | |

| I hiked up and then scrambled out onto several of the fins. I wish to return for some 5th class routes. One of the best places in the east. | |

| chrisferro | Every which way... | |
| I've been to Seneca dozens of times since 1993's first trip up Thais. It really is the best place in the east (in my opinion). As much as I love the Gunks and the New, there's nothing quite like Seneca's south summit east of the Rockies. | |

| JonW | Trad Crag | |
| This was my local trad crag during college at JMU. A great variety. Go midweek to avoid crowds on the classic routes. | |

| stevepack | Conn's West Direct Date Climbed: Oct 21, 2007 | |
| Conn's West Direct and Ecstacy Southwest Buttress variation with a guide from The Gendarme. My "refresher course" for climbing. I've been out of the technical stuff for a while. It came back quick. I felt good after the first pitch. Time to drag out the trad rack and work on leading again. Great weather, some of the best I've had. | |

| vanman798 | Beautiful Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2001 | |
| Walked up the backside Sep 3, 2001 and again on May 28, 2005. No one else was on the backside trail either time; good way to avoid the crowds. | |

| stevepack | Many routes.... | |
| I've climbed many routes at Seneca over the years. One of my favorites was the Gendarme before it fell. One of the coolest routes at Seneca. | |

| big_g | Got the T shirts to prove it Date Climbed: Oct 24, 2006 | |
| This was an impromptu trip for my sister and I this unseasonably warm Thanksgiving weekend. Fantastic weather and views for my sister's first real rock climb (Old Ladies). She was very happy to have earned the right to buy a Seneca "Climbing Rocks" T shirt. | |

| avidwanderer | Up again Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2006 | |
| Did a repeat of the route me and a friend did in winter to get to the north summit. On the next day we tried to get up skyline to the south summit, put it started storming so we bailed. | |

| fourty2 | Not Sure what route Date Climbed: Oct 7, 2004 | |
| My first trad climbing experience. Climbed with the Ohio State University Mountaineering club. Not sure what route, but it was pretty easy. Summit was still just as good of a view though. | |
