Description

The Powerhouse is a climbing area with exceptionally low quality rock. It is steep and very relentless. The cliff sits over 10,000 feet and has an amazing view of the San Juans. The climbing ranges from 5.8 up to 5.13+. If you are going to climb here, bring a helmet, and expect to break holds/feet.

There are a number of projects left unfinished, at least 3 because of rock quality, and 4 or 5 more because of difficulty.
