Banana Peels

Atypical for Seneca in movement but not in the spirit of runout sandbagged gear routes! Starting roughly 20ft right of Banana below a series of horizontal cracks and just right of the birch tree, make powerful unprotected moves to the first horizontal. There was originally an old pin here that is no longer there, but you can fiddle in a few micro cams. The climbing is hard and insecure through here and a fall before getting a solid piece would end very poorly. Once you have a solid piece make a cruxy big move to the next horizontal, get another good piece and then continue up on small crimps until it is possible to head left to the shallow right facing flake. The hardest climbing is over but the route isn’t in the bag yet. Continue up the flake to the crack system where you can get good gear. From here follow the broken crack system up to the ledge.

located just right of Banana, below the gunsight notch. The gunsight notch rappel, will take you right over it.

.1”-3” cams, stoppers, no anchor
