The Balance of Power

Description

Once again pull of the ground with difficulty, using some variety of the slopy "knobs" to get on the wall. Continue up on progressively better holds to a nice rest at the half way point. Rest well as some trickiness awaits passing the next bolt (fifth). Beta alert (it may be possible to skip this section using a lichen covered jug far to the left, that is difficult to see from below) Pull over the bulge and set up for the final steep moves to the anchor. There is a final bolt here that seems out of place and difficult to clip, (the clip would be as harder than making the one more move the anchor) so I skipped it.

Location

Starts about 8 feet right of A Walk in the Park. 4th route to the right of Leprosy (a hard direct start variation to this route between "Balance of Power" and "Walk in the Park" was added to the cliff in 2020).

Protection

7 bolts to anchors
