Gunsight To South Peak Direct 5.5 PG⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Trad Climb Lead Beta, Seneca Rocks West Virginia

So we went down to Seneca to check out the Cinco De Mayo shindig they hold every year, only to get completely rained out Friday and Saturday. We're talking tent flooding conditions under torrential downpours. Fearing we wouldn't get to climb anything that weekend, we proceeded to drink and socialize to escape our woe. Then Sunday morning came, still kinda soggy but we learned that Seneca is famous for how quickly the rock dries, and so we were off! Hangovers or no, we're gonna climb something today! And so we checked out this classic variation on the Gunsight route. On any other Sunday it'd be likely there'd be a line of climbers itching to get up this route, but due to the weather we only came upon 1 group of friendly climbers on the route next to us. I couldn't have asked for a better day to climb! Well, minus the hangover and lack of water at least. That part I could've done without, but the route is phenomenal! And really it's pretty easy with good pro and holds everywhere. A three star climb in my opinion (well at least when compared to a Water Gap 3 star...) NOTE: This route was previously rated a 5.4 but is 5.5 in the newest guidebook. Personally I think this route is more in the 5.4 range, but that's in comparison to Water Gap climbing, which is a notoriously sandbagged crag. Either way though, a stellar route!

A must climb route! 4 Stars = Definitely a classic! 3 Stars = Pretty dang good 2 Stars = It's alright, worth checking out 1 Star = Not awful, can be interesting 0 Stars = Dumb, or I was too lazy to redo the thumbnail (which is very possible with our oldest videos). ___________________________________________________________________ Come check out our new website! https://stuff2climb.com/ Don't forget to Subscribe for more Stuff2climb! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXxa...
