Description

This is a super-fun route that -- for some -- serves as a warm up for the harder, long routes further right. Power of One is classic pocket pulling through gently overhanging rock. There are a couple cruxes -- the onsight is tricky as some of the key holds are tough to spot. Even after the grade kicks back the climbing stays fun all the way to the anchors.

Location

Start as for One Love, left of the obvious crack (Waiting for Sophie) at the far left of Lei Pi's main wall. Climb left past the start of One Love to the tufa, then up that to the steepest section pockets with long moves and desperate slopers. Turn the corner and then trend up and left to the anchors.

Protection

Bolts to a 2 bolt, fixed anchor.
