BFF is a compact, accessible sport climb set on the striking limestone walls of Cerro Las Tetas near Cayey, Puerto Rico. In just a single pitch, this route packs a clean, consistent climbing experience with solid holds from beginning to end. The rock’s textured surface offers reliable friction, inviting climbers to trust their footwork as they move gracefully upwards. The route’s six well-spaced bolts make for confident clipping, allowing those new to sport climbing or visitors to the island’s climbing scene a chance to savor a steady 5.9 challenge without overwhelming complexity.

Approaching Cerro Las Tetas, the climb rises out of the verdant hills that gently roll through the region to the south of San Juan and the central highlands. The lush greenery contrasts with the pale rock faces where BFF lives. The area enjoys a warm tropical climate, meaning early starts are recommended to beat the sun, especially during peak dry season when the wall basks in full light by midday. The climb’s orientation is generally exposed, so expect the warmth of the sun on your back as you move through the bolts.

Accessing BFF requires a bit of careful planning, as the descent is not straightforward. Unlike many sport climbs, the belay ledge reached after the six-bolt pitch has no dedicated rappel station. Instead, climbers must rappel from anchors shared with neighboring routes such as Zika BS or BFF’s namesake to safely reach the ground. This detail makes it imperative to arrive equipped with a 60-meter rope and know your rappel knots and anchors to avoid a tricky retreat.

Though short in length, BFF delivers solid movement that demands clean technique and steady focus. The route is ideal for climbers wanting a quick but satisfying session amidst a stunning Puerto Rican climbing backdrop. As a bonus, the proximity to other climbs in the Right Teta section means you can easily link up additional pitches or routes in the area for a full day of adventure.

Packing your gear for BFF? Just a standard rack for sport routes suffices—six bolts with a bolted chain anchor offer reliable protection throughout. The rock is generally sound, but always check your holds and clips carefully, especially in tropical environments where weather can affect surfaces. Bring hydration and shade for the approach and time your outing to avoid the sun at its peak, typically late morning through mid-afternoon.

In sum, BFF stands as a perfect introduction to Puerto Rico’s sport climbing scene: short, approachable, and set in an environment that excites without complicating. Whether you’re on a weekend getaway or seeking a quick training route, its pared-down nature mixed with straightforward climbing makes it a must-try for visitors and locals alike.
