Description
Follow the approach to the Main Wall of Solaris. Tower of Power starts by a big triangular roof, 75 feet left of Mission to Mars.
Follow a line of bolts up a steep face on the right side of the big triangular roof. Turn a small roof, step left, and climb a steep headwall (crux) to a ledge. The crux section can be climbed following the bolt line or using a crack to the right. Another short wall leads to the anchors. Lower 80' to the start.
The climb has some reachy moves, and may be easier for taller people.
I wondered why Rossiter said, "Hint: stay in line with the bolts above the roof." There are some bigger holds out left, but they don't work so well, If you're right at the bolts at the crux move, there's a ladder of small but positive foot holds, that makes it quite easy.

Fun route. Use longer slings on the first three bolts as the route trends left after the roof. Large positive holds get you over the roof to some fun face climbing. Be aware, it's a little ways up to the first bolt.
