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.

This climb does not suck!!!!

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.

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

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

Low on the route.

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.

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

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