Karmic Power

On the steep face right of Balarete is a line of decent but widely spaced holds that is very popular. The arete is off for hands and feet. This is an independent line. Start as low as you can on a sidepull/gaston, crouched or standing and a left hand crimp. Reach up with the right into the unique seam for a perfect half pad crimp. Get the feet up and make a big deadpoint to the obvious one pad 4 finger flake. The left hand probably travels 5 feet to reach this hold and is the crux. The top out is relatively secure.
