Description
All of the routes are (from left to right): Lamp Post Ledges (5.9+), Edd’s Crack (5.10), and Chump Crack (5.8).Set up top ropes according to where you begin each route.So Lamp Post Ledges starts on the crack adjacent to the big, dark gray concrete corner. Follow that crack up to the first ledge. Then stand up and make your way up to the top corner of the big concrete slab. Once you’re there, use the friction from your legs and feet to make your way over to the lamp post’s ledge up top. Once you’re there, then you’re done with the route! Move your top rope over.For Edd’s Crack, start on the next crack over from the start of Lamp Post. Start making your way up the crack to the under part of the big, concrete slab. Under there you’ll find a two finger pocket and on the sides of it, there’ll be some shallow side pulls. Use that two finger pocket to pull yourself out from underneath the slab and start using the side pulls. You’ll find way better side pulls a bit further up. Once you’re free from below the slab, make your way up it using the side pulls. You’ll find a broken corner up topside, use that to finish up the route!For Chump Crack, start one crack away from Edd’s Crack. Simply make your way up this crack till you get to the top. Once you’re up there, use the undercling on the concrete slab to finish out the route!
