The Red Bluff formation is located on the north ridge of Mount Sevy. It is an impressive tower that is seldom visited. Lately, some climbers have ignored the fact that the first ascenders, the Iowa Mountaineers, named it Red Bluff and now refer to this formation as the Birthday Cake. USGS Mount Cramer
