Description Climb the steep, yet moderate, wall to the lip about half way up the route, being sure to take advantage of any rests you can conjure. They do exist, although they can be a bit elusive. And they do make a difference, despite seeming unnecessary in this "easy" terrain. Once at the lip be prepared for powerful, beta intensive moves all the way to the anchor. Crimps, slopers, heel-hooks, flags, gastons, arete pinches, and a big cross-over move await. Oh, yeah, and some really hard clips.
Location Scramble onto the huge boulder which separates the route Waimea from the center of the crag. (Not as hard/scary as it looks). Butt Bongo is the route which goes up the center of the wall on top of the boulder and climbs the left arete.

| How does this compare (quality, climbing style, power etc.) to Tin Monkeys, Dynosaur, and Beat Junkie?
edit:
Thanks Jay. |

| I would say that BBF is not as pumpy as the other routes you mentioned. However, I feel that the moves on BBF are more advanced than on Tin Monkeys and Dynosaur. Basically, BBF is a 13a that climbs like a 13d, requiring very subtle hip movement and center of gravity awareness.
It's very high quality, and much easier than Beat Junkie, IMO. |

| Sequential and bouldery. After the moderate face, bust out the roof using an undercling, but first make a hard clip. Heel hook to pull the roof and make another hard clip off a crimp. Surge up into the left facing corner using a heel perch and snatching the right hand on thin sidepulls. Then make a rose move left (think Euro) and make a final deadpoint to a crimp. Take your time on the interesting, easy finish. |

| I never did a rose move on this- did you cross under your arm on the crossover move? That would be impressive considering it's a body tension intensive arete pinch. |

| I think the "rose move" is the move where you reach left to the hold around the corner. I reach with my right hand while laying back with my left on the arete. It's kind of rose move-ish. |

| I guess it is technically not a rose move, I reached over my arm like Jay described. French pocketed limestone this is not. |
