Description 

The first pitch is often climbed as it is a fun .10 slab/thin crack. The above pitches probably see a little action from time to time, but I don't have much information about them. Pitch two, however, is the obvious roof that is visible from the road. P4 starts from the Beach, so is technically on the Cheeks proper. For P1, climb a steep 5.9 corner with a crack to access the slab. Thin crack and crux slab climbing lead to an anchor below the roof. Continue via aid or descend.

Location 

Around the corner to the right of Clay and All Dogs Go to Heaven is this slab with an obvious corner below it. Descend with a 60m rope.

Protection 

Gear small to 2 inch. Fixed rappel anchor on top of P1. Other pitches probably require pins, etc. and the condition of their anchors is unknown.
