The lower portion is a mellow face climb (5.6-5.7). Then you come to the bulge. There is a high pinch on the left for your hands and almost nothing for your feet. There is a bolt at the edge of the bulge, but if you blow the crux you will likely hit the ledge below the bulge.

I've only climbed to the crux on this one. I've yet to see anyone climb the crux cleanly--even climbers who have successfully surmounted the crux of Crazy Horse and Wild Horses.

This is the shortest of the Cheers Ledge climbs. The bulge section is short and easy.

I haven't finished this one. Start by the base of the large pine. Thin edging with minimal hands leads up to the bulge. The strenuous crux is at the highest point of the bulge and is height dependent.

Just to the left of Chestnut Mare, the crux of this route is surmounting the face of the bulge. It is easier if you're taller. Unlike most of the other climbs, this one does not follow a water groove.

Fun edging and side pulls. The route begins at the right end of the main belay ledge (to the left of the lower rappel station). from there it follows a water groove up then trends right to a belay station. The crux is the first 25 feet.

After a bouldery start, climb the face up to a water groove at the bulge. The crux is somewhat height dependent with good hands up high, but not much else. Follow the water groove to the bolts.

Down low this climb has some enjoyable thin edging and crimps. At the bulge the rock transitions to mostly friction moves.

The crux is near the bottom and depends on which way you wander up the face.  Beware of wasp nests in pockets during the summer months.
