Pawel entering the awesome blue rock near the top of Power of Silence. This is where the holds all get smaller and you better have some good technique or else you just may not make it.

Pawel is just leaving the "cave" at about half height. The "cave" is just out of the picture but is directly down and left of the bolt clipped at his waist. This section can catch you off guard. From here to the top is really where this route gets good.
Pawel is very near the chains at about 90 feet off the deck. I've seen Pawel repeat this route many times just for fun. It really is a classic. I think everyone grumbles and nods in agreement that this is easy for the 12d grade because it has really good rests and no 12+ difficulty moves. Maybe someday enough holds will break off that it is actually 12d, but it seems unlikely to ever actually be downgraded for some reason. I digress, this route is simply great fun, and if you want to go for a long wonderful adventure, this may be the route for you.

Pawel pulling one of the last steep moves before the route turns to a lesser angle.
