Tower of Power Map

Tower of Power is one of the more challenging granite slab runs in Pemberton. Following a utility clearing, the trail traverses a fall line along the edge of the Green River and offers a myriad of unique slab lines. From narrow and slow tech lines, to steep, open slabs, this is one of the must-do black diamond lines in the area. It also offers spectacular views of Mount Currie to the southeast.

Description

This downhill run is most often accessed from Lumpy's Epic and is often used to form a larger loop in the area.
