Cheetos and Everclear presents a concentrated burst of Yosemite's distinctive granite character, delivering 180 feet of engaging sport climbing that blends straightforward dike moves with delicate face climbing. The route launches off a prominent white dike, inviting climbers into a sequence of comfortable, enjoyable jugs bolted every few feet, perfect for warming up your fingers and settling into the rhythm of the rock. After four bolts, the line shifts right, leading to a series of thin, balance-dependent moves along a clean face where precision and footwork reward every step. The climbing here is straightforward but demands a steady focus on technique and body positioning, making it approachable for intermediate climbers moving into the 5.10 range.

Belaying options add thoughtful flexibility to the experience. You can choose to anchor at the top, shaded and cool, ideal for a mid-day rest or lowering safely. Alternatively, a belay perched around 130 feet from the terrace offers panoramic views of Tuolumne's alpine meadow and distant peaks, a rewarding scene that reminds you why Yosemite remains a coveted climbing destination. Protection is well spaced but reliable, with nine draws standard, and for those who prefer extra security, an optional hand-sized piece combined with a long sling can cover the easier 5th-class crack that offers a touch more peace of mind.

Approach access is straightforward, following clear paths through Tuolumne Meadows to Dozier Dome. The climb suits a midday session when the face emerges from early shadows but before the afternoon sun grows too intense. Light winds typical at this elevation keep temperatures moderate even in summer, but bringing adequate water and layering is advised to handle the alpine conditions.

For climbers eyeing this route, solid sport experience paired with confident footwork will unlock the rhythm that keeps moves smooth and efficient. The route’s sustained nature fits nicely in a day of cragging in Yosemite's high country, offering both a technical challenge and a chance to soak in the vast, open landscape. With straightforward protection, moderate length, and a balanced mix of climbing styles, Cheetos and Everclear makes a memorable addition to any Tuolumne climbing itinerary.
