Urban Climbing Manifesto

Philadelphia’s underground urban climbing guide

City Hall

Kai

Location:
Broad St. and Market St.

Rock:
Granite and Formed Concrete

Type of Climb:
Bouldering

Description:
Rain or shine, your airy yet indoor bouldering spot awaits. With legality being less of an issue as you’d think, there are many nooks and corners to be explored within the four wings of City Hall. Every wing possesses its own unique architecture. Keep in mind the court rooms are merely on the other side of the wall with which you are climbing.

Peter Parker


Set Routes:
“Official Traverse” V1+ (In the well lit North Broad St. hallway, attempt traversing the entire parameter, make sure to have a blotter… err… spotter under the doorstop)
“Parimeter Defense” V4 (Use the small crimps anywhere on the outer parimeter of City Hall, you will be faced with the question “How high should I take this, because I could just keep on climbing…)

    The Mayor’s face would make a great foothold.
