A little trivia - "Esto Power" is so named because Vaino, and his brother Toivo, are of Estonian descent.

And to add to the trivia, Eve Laeger and friend did the FA, naming it to honor the Estonians.... and the fact that it was done on "estrogen" power as well ;)

Eve (then Uiga, now Laeger) and Viano Kodas were the Estonians. This is a first class route. A chicken bolt has been added to the first pitch, protecting the mantle which comes right after the crux. The F.A. was done drilling only from stances, so before this bolt mysteriously appeared the leader had to do the crux and the runout mantle to reach the next bolt.
