Does anyone know if the Cheesewring boulder on Bodmin Moor has ever been climbed?

The Cheesewring is a prominent distinctive tor  sitting above the  quarry to which it gives its name.  It is a pile of rounded  overhanging boulders sitting atop one another in an unlikely top heavy fashion.  

There is no mention of it as a climb/ boulder problem on UK climbing that I can see.

Even AI cant find any record. 

It looks impossible to me , but then so do many climbs. 

Would be interesting to know if its ever been climbed  - getting down would probably  involve a mighty drop onto a huge pile of  mats - shenanigans  with a rope over the top or  dodgy use of  a ladder.

Any info would be interesting 

Thanks

There are a couple of routes E1 5c & E2 5c and a boulder problem V4 6a listed in the current definitive guidebook.

There are are a few photos in the history section too

Yes, plenty on there. Definitely other tors on the moor with stuff yet to be done though
