One time I went to Seneca without a guidebook. It was a mistake and I ended up not climbing at all because I didn't know what I was doing. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. Be prepared and know what you're getting into by buying a guidebook.
The only comprehensive rock climbing guidebook to Seneca Rocks, West Virginia. Seneca lies in a remote part of West Virginia, but is easily accessible from many major metropolitan east coast areas, including Washington DC, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and New York. Modern technical climbing started here in the 1930's, making it one of the oldest climbing areas in the United States, as well as the only major summit accessible only by technical climbing in the eastern United States. This guide describes much of the rich history of the area including its use as a training ground for troops that fought in the mountains of Italy during WWII. The dramatic peaks of Seneca Rocks are one the East Coast's most important areas for tradional climbing and multi-pitch.
