This is one really nice, pretty pumpy route typical of the best E-Tower area has to offer. The biggest holds you'll ever fall off and all that. Cheshire starts just to the right of the big black waterstreak on the right side of the Sleeping Beauty Wall. Latch onto the big jugs and keep hauling to the top.

It amazes me that people who apparently dislike this type of climbing so much, have climbed so many of these routes. I defy you to list another 10b sport route anywhere that is as fun as Cheshire Cat.
Definitely a great route, I think some of the routes get lower quality ratings than they deserve because the routes on the tower are so great. Only comparable 10b I can think of in NM is Firewater at Sitting Bull Falls. Waiting to Procrastinate at Diablo and Drive by Shooting at Conchas are also great.
Don't miss the double kneebar rest. It is fun even if you don't need the rest.

Cheshire Cat is one of the few routes that I have seen at the tower that has lowering hardware: 2 springer hangers. A third cold-shut anchor is also present.
