Description
Fun climb in the sun to the top of the south end of the formation. Gritty and exfoliating surface.
Start in the bushes below and to the right of a dark overhanging split boulder. Paw your way up about 8' of gritty slab to reach a seam. Climb it and head up and right after it ends to a short hand crack that ends in a short featured slab with some patinaed plates.
At the steep walled end of the slabby section is a good place to set up an anchor to TR the lower section with a 60m rope.
Traverse to the right past a deep off-width slot to a seam that takes you to the top of the formation.
Location
From the parking area walk towards the formation and turn left/SW around to the toe of the formation at its southmost point. Look for the dark overhanging boulder/roof with a crack through the middle (Cheshire for President). The route starts about ten feet to the right of the boulder in some scraggly bushes.
