Routes in Power Star Community Crag

Mixed route with two starting bolts, which then take you through a trad roof crack. Suggested cam placements are from 0.75 to 4 (BD sizes). The crack ends at the mechanically bolted anchor.

Shares the same start as Porotos Con Rienda but traverses left after the third bolt.

Short routes with very defined holds throughout.

Short route with powerful moves up to the second bolt.

Very short slab; good for learning to smear; trust your shoe soles! For guide: Scramble up to the top from the back, sling the horn near the bolt with a long cord and equalize with the bolt to build a top rope anchor.

Slightly overhanging climb with good crimps throughout and jugs from second bolt onwards. Be careful with belaying. In case of a fall before the third bolt, the belayer can get pulled into the drop at the base leading to a ground fall for the climber. The route ends in a surprise traverse.

An easy traverse with lots of large pockets that get easier higher up. Pre-clip the first bolt

Traverse leftwards to finally clip the shared the anchor with Interstellar. The route has two starts; the left first bolt is the original route.

Traverse left to finally clip the shared the anchor with (l. The route has two starts; and it shares the last bolt and anchor with Interstellar. Starting on the right first bolt is an easier variation.

A sustained and dynamic climb with a surprise and possibly reachy crux sequence in the middle.

A nice flowy climb interrupted by a few satisfying power moves in the middle.

A sustained climb with a fingery sequence between the 4th and 5th bolt. Stay left! Take a rest before tackling the small roof to the top.

An easy start with two mini cruxes after the second bolt and then at the top. Don't go right into the chimney.

Climb through the funky features in the chimney either using trad gear or by setting a top rope on the two anchor bolts accessed by climbing Burfi and traversing left.

Climb the arete to the right of the chimney and enjoy some feel good climbing. Belay from the top of the boulder at the base of climb.

A deserving trad line (or top rope) with mechanical anchor bolts; suggested placements are double cams from 0.3 to 0.75, a single 1 and 2 (BD sizes) and one set of nuts.

Just a really nice climb; follow the line and stay central/left between the 4th and 5th bolt.

A great beginner route or for warming up with crux between 4th and 5th bolt

A powerful corner climb going through a small roofy section

A cruxy start and bouldery moves until the crux around the 4th bolt. Easy climb post the crux.

A heaven for lovers of crimps and balance movements

A long sustained climb full of fingery pockets and cool features. Enjoy!

Just a good long warm-up; spot the rhino horn on the route, and use it!

A route with features that you are unlikely to find anywhere else in Badami! Fun and long.

A route with features that you are unlikely to find anywhere else in Badami! Fun and long.

A demanding slabby start with technical moves followed by crimpy sometimes juggy vertical face to the top.

Slabby start with good holds leading to vertical juggy sequence with small cracks just before the anchor.

Begins along a diagonal crack by the the tree. Once you battle the first crux to get out of the crack and into the face, enjoy the flowy and juggy moves, with ample rest, until you reach the mini roof to tackle before clipping the anchor.

Clip stick the first bolt. Bouldery start, don't drift left or right--go straight. Dave Gates fixed a partially bolted route that was abandoned a long time ago. The older bolts are SS304 (not SS316 like the the rest of PowerStar).

Enter the gully in between Dancing Queen and Rescue Mission. Follow the off width crack on the right wall which goes diagonally left until it ends at a ledge then go straight up. Use a single rack to 0.75 and a no. 5 and no. 6 cams. There is no mechanical anchor on top; scramble over to Rescue Mission and rappel down.

Roof crux at the top is well protected with 0.4 and 0.75 cams. The rest of the route is run out but relatively easy. No anchor at top. Use a hanging belay with no 3 and no. 4 cams or top out to make a anchor. Walk off left down the gully / chimney.
