Peg Traverse.

Managed to capture this team up on the Scenic Cruise while we were descending the gully on the approach to the base of the climb.

Classic fashion often found on Black Canyon hardmen in the 1980s!<br>

This climb does not suck!!!!

The scenic on a perfect Oct. fall day. Taken from the third pitch of Checkerboard.

Topo.

Shows the obvious splitters with The Cruise on the left and the Scenic Cruise on the right. Further right, the obvious, huge, left-facing corner on Journey Home.

The view of journey home & scenic cruise taken on 9/25. I'm happy to share the original file if this is you and you'd like to print a poster.

A little higher.

Top of the giant flake.

Like grandma said, "You had better get back in that damn thing before you flame out and fall!"

POV from the P7 'bivy ledge', after the .10+ corner and subsequent wideness.<br>
I love this ledge because it means the burliness is over and I can relax.

This topo starts at pitch 4. The bottom pitches are obscured by the formation in the foreground.

Photo from the S. Rim showing the entire route. FYI, the best viewpoint to see the entire route is "Devils Lookout", you can't see Scenic Cruise very well from the Chasm View viewpoint on the S. Rim.

Stu feeling casual.

The start is easy to find, just start at the huge bush of poison ivy....

All smiles now that DI is onto the ramp up toward the peg.

Most of the route is visible here if you zoom in.
