Super fun climbing and a great warmup for other routes. Nice pocket to transition right! Fun, fun, fun! Jan 22, 2012

Not sure if there are two routes here or a variation on one route. Beef Cake Formula as described in the route description is right of the bolts clipping left (have previously climbed on toprope). What I climbed today was a different line left of the bolts clipping right. Although they are just on opposite sides of the bolted flake, they climb like two distinctly different lines. I agree that the left line/route was a blast. Apr 28, 2012

A good climb, kinda hard for an 8, but since it's right in the middle of a bunch of fun climbs, why not give it a try? Experience is always nice. Apr 21, 2014
