Description

Another option while at Guides Rock, a good route while waiting for Aftonroe. The rock is high friction and enjoyable. Pitches can be combined.

Pitch 1: 5.8, 25m
Pitch 2: 5.7, 20m
Pitch 3: 5.8, 30m
Pitch 4: 5.8, 30m

Location

The route starts approx 10m left and slightly downhill of Aftonroe. There is a single bolt belay at the base. Descent can be made by rappelling the route or after pitch 4 continue up and right to join Aftonroe

We showed up to Aftonroe and there were multiple parties on the route and waiting to get started and 0 people on Cheesegrater. I thought this climb was a lot of fun and definitely worth the time, you can also easily continue on Aftonroe after the first 4 pitches. All the bolts and anchors looked great and bolts exactly where you needed them. Third pitch kinda trends climbers right to a handcrack corner where the a little hard to see the first bolt is, and I think the second bolt is just out of view. Sep 7, 2018
