Three climbs get the top quality stars on the Boat How crags Fanghorn ,Flagship and this climb Scenic Cruise. My second Paul is the son of my old climbing partner Pete Greenwood.Sustained interesting climbing.Starts at the foot of Starboard Chimney .see guide.P1)Climb a left leaning groove just left of Starboard Chimney for about 20' then make a couple of moves right to a crack line. Move right and climb straight up heading for the base of a steep groove at the highest point of the buttress. Pull out left and climb a delicate slab or the groove direct which is more difficult.150'5.8 (HVS)
