Description 

Another excellent line on the Meat Wall, Steroid Power climbs a beautiful swath of pink limestone in between Jail Bait and Cardinal Sin. Begin up gray stone on easy crimps to the low looming bulge. Crux up over this bulge, either directly, or by moving to large holds out left. Sustained moves above the bulge lead to an interesting Rifle-esque shallow dihedral, with technical stemming and awkward rest. The dihedral terminates in a few horizontal slots before the final intimidating bulge. Move up & right over/around the bulge on generally large holds and inobvious feet, to a ledgy, vertical face on the right. A few easier moves lead to the chains.

Protection 

Ten Bolts, 2 BA.
