Set against the rugged backdrop of Eldorado Canyon State Park near Boulder, Colorado, Cher's Liposuction Workout presents an accessible yet engaging test for trad climbers eager to sharpen their footwork and crack skills. This modest, 60-foot single-pitch climbs a distinctive recess located slightly down and left of the more frequented Cro-Magnon Man route. The climb demands a solid sequence of moves over a stubborn bulge that challenges your balance and power before easing onto a more forgiving face section. The rock here grits under your fingertips, and the texture invites confident placements and steady progress.

As you ascend, the rock’s character reveals itself through subtle changes in angle and texture, compelling you to adjust your rhythm constantly. Protection is well within reach for an experienced leader, with sufficient cracks and edges for nuts and cams, though maintaining focus on gear placement is key to a safe and enjoyable climb. The route’s exposure is approachable, providing enough openness to feel the pulse of the canyon without overwhelming the senses.

Eldorado Canyon’s landscape around the climb enriches the experience with its towering sandstone walls and the steady cadence of the South Boulder Creek nearby, which seems to pulse with life as you push upward. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal climbing windows when the sun casts long shadows across the walls, softening the day's heat and accentuating the rock’s granular texture.

For those eyeing their next moderate trad climb with personality and a straightforward approach, Cher's Liposuction Workout offers a compact but rewarding challenge. Preparation is straightforward—ensure your rack covers a standard range of cams and nuts, lace up for sticky rubber on solid sandstone, and pack water to stay refreshed in the dry Colorado air. Though brief, the climb’s concentrated moves and tangible protection demand respect and proper attention to detail. After topping out, a short walk back connects you with other local climbs or picnic spots, making this route a perfect midday adventure or a stepping stone to longer climbs in Eldorado.
