Blob Rock, Limits of Power, Boulder Canyon. One of the more prominent routes that Rick Accomazzo and I put up in the Boulder area was Limits of Power. This is a strenuous 5.12 line right of Decade Dance and Ageing Time on Blob Rock. The first pitch on the 100° headwall is very continuous and protected mostly by small “RP” nuts. This pitch involves wild face climbing to a 5.11 mantle, then up a 5.11 thin crack to a 5.11 roof. The second pitch takes an easy ramp to the top. Limits of Power is among the finest quality routes in Boulder Canyon.
