V10, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 3 from 24 votes

Description

This route begins on a large undercling in the back of the cave and climbs through compression sidepulls and crimps to a massive last move to a jug. The crux is bumping the right hand into the jug. Very height dependent. Most people drop off at the end of the roof, although for full credit there's a 5.7 victory slab of 50ft to be had.

Location

Kneeling Before Power is located on the Power Roof at the right side of the North Forty Wall. It is the sheer 90 degree roof that is about 12-15 feet long. It is the left route. Near the routes "Zeke's Digi Dance" and "Newton County Mentality."

Protection

2-3 pads.

[Hide Comment] The lip can also be pulled and stood on so that you're at least on top of the climb for a pseudo-topout :) Dec 17, 2018
