  • "I did a full-day multi-pitch trad climb to the top of Seneca Rocks with Eunny. She is an incredible guide and it felt like we had been friends for years after chatting for just a few minutes. This was my first multi-pitch climb and Eunny made me feel so safe. She was patient and informative - I learned a lot and pushed myself all while having a ton of fun. Can't wait to come back and try more climbs in the area! Thanks Eunny and Seneca Rocks Climbing School!"

  • "My husband and a friend took the advanced course with Garry Blevins. The course content was exactly what they were looking for. Garry was great, patient and willing to help fill in some gaps, and had a great overall attitude and love for the rocks and mountains. Strongest recommendation to take a course with this School - their guides and instructors are highly qualified professionals that are easy to work with!"
