Anyone up for some mountain climbing at seneca rocks this sunday? Im thinking of taking backroads there, trying out that mountain climbing school and then riding back.

Anyone ever do it or have info on this?? 

I've never taken any of the classes out there. I'd recomend calling ahead to make reservations and find out there schedule.   

I think all the one day classes are single pitch climbs versus multi-pitch climbs, but I'm not certain. There are some pretty nice scrambles across the top versus outright climbs availible as well that you could take on without the school if you are feeling spunky.  

Can't go this weekend but if want to do it again later in the year let me know. I've got a couple of 60 meter climbing ropes in decent shape, a couple of harnesses and some gear.  I'd be up for a scramble and maybe a bit of goofing around repelling, but I'm in no shape for a real climb.

Hey i didnt know you knew how to do the stuff. Definatly lets plan something for this year, pick a date and we can do this. Its much better doing it with someone who actually has done it before. Send me an email when you want to do it as i dont check in here very often. 

Well now. I never said I knew how to do it. I said I got some gear. LOL.

Actually a trip out to Great falls would be in order before taking on Seneca.  It's been awhile since I did any climbing or set up protection. Fair warning though, I'm not a skilled climber, just one that's still alive. I'm not qualified to lead routes. But I could handle a scramble and some repelling. The nice thing about Great Falls is it's easy to set up the rope up for a short climb from the top, repell down and then climb back up.  I'll pencil in something for early fall and shoot you an email when we get a bit closer.
