Lamp Post Boulders

From left to right the routes go: Left Hook (V3), Express Way (V4), Blank (V7), and Right Hook (V2).

Left Hook starts on the crack directly to the left of the lamp post ledge. Follow it up to the concrete undercling and pull your way up to a top out.

Express Way starts at the same spot that Blank does. It just goes up underneath the lamp post ledge and then used the crack at the top of the left flake. Then use that crack to grab the top of the ledge with your hand. Top out to finish.

Blank starts directly under the lamp post and it’s a bit tricky. This one is the brain child of Eddie Conner who saw the tiny pvc pipe hole in the bottom of the ledge as a mono pocket. Basically what you want to do is Gaston your way up the crack, find good feet, press up under the ledge using compression, and by any means possible (either using the mono pocket or using the edges of the ledge itself) dynamically push your way up to the top of the ledge. Top out by getting some nice heel hooks and mantle your way over. The lamp post is on but it may not help you out all that much with the too out.

Right Hook starts on the crack directly to the right of the lamp post ledge and it just follows that crack up to the concrete undercling. Use that undercling to get yourself up to the top out.

These routes all reside at the end of the Dead Cat Alley area. They’re right underneath what should be the last overhanging lamp post.
