Power and Lies Trad Variation

Power and Lies

seems too contrived if using the prominent crack left of the bolt line. Therefore, I am adding this as a variation. This crack also makes for a good trad lead by itself. The climb stays promptly left of the bolts.

Climb the obvious crack in the gully left of

Power and Lies

(some folks use this for

Power and Lies

). This crack is also right of the large off-width/squeeze chimney. Climb up the crack and join

Power and Lies

at its last bolt. Clip the bolt, which also conveniently protects with a small cam, and finish to the anchors.

A selected single rack. A #4 BD was helpful but not mandatory.
