Power of the Crimp
Description
Start on the farthest left of the face and traverse rightwards with shy footholds through a very pumpy and overhanging section that ends at some large holds. Climb upwards 5-8' to get to the higher face using crimps and a finger pocket (and avoid using the ground behind you to push your back on/rest against!). The upper rightmost face section is the crux. Traverse rightwards through the crux to the right edge of the face, where there are bomber holds, and then climb the arete to the mossy top of the boulder. Walk off the uphill section on the back. This is a fun boulder route with lots to offer: overhang, face, slab, finger pocket, crimps, traverses, verticals, and a nice top out!Video of attempts and first ascent here.
