Description
From the Rifle Mtn Park Guidebook (2013):
"This line-of-least-resistance bypasses Slice of Life's burly crux and is the line most climbed. From the finger eating slot atop the groove, make a short traverse left. then join Zulu;for a move or two before drifting back right to regain Slice of Life. When Bobbi Bensman- fresh off the FFA Slice of Life - heard that Don Welsh had discovered this variation, she was so upset she vowed to remove the offending holds. Fortunately, she slept on it, and a calmer head prevailed."
Of the 3 route options that share the same opening 9 bolts, Piece of Cake is arguably the most fun, with friendly grips, and a toe-hook-to-jump combo to gain the Zulu holds. The top is the redpoint crux, with multiple options of tackling the final V4/5 boulder that guards the chains. It is lower in the grade compared to Slice of Life or Piece of Zulu.
Location
Climb the first 9 bolts of Slice of Life, clip left, climb left onto Zulu, and then straight up and a little right to regain Slice of Life.
