Description 

The easiest route up the Cheeks formation and featuring an interesting range of climbing, including passing through a chimney.

The first pitch is short, but steep, with the crux (~10a) being awkward hand jamming over a bulge. Ends just below the chimney.

Pitch two goes through the chimney. When you exit above the chimney, follow the fist-wide hands crack (crux) to a ledge in a corner system.

For pitch three, follow the corner to the top.

Descend by rappel via the gulley between the cheeks and the Upper Town Wall.

Location 

Starts near the end of the Perverse Traverse.

Protection 

Full range of sizes, up to fist-sized cams.
