High Res: Cumber Honey to Jim Pick. Lines not confirmed and based off Indy's Descriptions.

HIgh res photo from Jim Pick to Robinson Crusoe. I did not include lines where I don't know for a fact they are the right lines.

Luke Douglas original photo with comment : “The route Cumber Honey from the road below the cliff. The large red X is a block that could seriously ruin your day. It is huge and moves quite easily when touched on its left hand side. The huge roof on the right hand side of this photo is part of the Jim Pick Wall.”

I added some extra data where I thought the descriptions matched the routes or to routes I have climbed.

Slight upgrade where trail meets cliff

Here comes the train!

Rap ledge at fun land

Easy climb, not sure what route it was, but probably in the 5.5 area,was in Fun land. made two short pitches at it. Also added new slings and rings on the rappel. As the ones that were there were completely weathered and unsafe. This area doesn't seem to have seen much traffic in quite a while.

The cliff as seen from the howling ledge.

Ran into this guy on the way to Jim Pick and turned around and did Misty Splitter instead. They're there, so keep an eye out.
