The fabulous view on top of pitch 2 of Journey Home.

Aaron headed up the 1st pitch, there is a terrible #1 placement visible.

Doesn't look nearly as dangerous from across the gully.

Phil Wortmann leading the second pitch

Looking down the upper part of what we climbed as P2, a 70m pitch from the middle of the lower dihedral, through the roof, and up some corners above. <br>

There's a more comfortable belay 30m below me, directly above the chimney's roof, but from this belay, a small, pegmatite flake, you can climb through the finger crack and "classic dihedral" to an awesome ledge in a stellar 70m pitch.

Emily following the .9 finger crack pitch.

Will Spaller climbing through the mental crux of journey home. Moments later a massive raven hovered behind him, an omen for the good day ahead of us.

Myself, yarding on the underclings on pitch 1. Fran Bagenal pic. From 1989.

The wide section on pitch 5. We had just 1#4 and got through it....

On the 2nd pitch, from the lower ledge atop the 1st pitch.

Pitch 1: the first good piece of pro (a #2 cam), before moving right across the face.

Looking down at "direct start" crack at start of pitch 1.The 5.9 R face climbing (to right in photo) is excellent, just a bit spicy, but the crack looks a bit gross and probably no better for gear. The climbers are at base of the route.

Fun in the sun at the top of pitch 3.

Somewhere on P5.

Pitch 1: this bulge is the technical crux of the pitch, but it is well-protected.

Josh Janes, high up on Journey Home, laughs at Charles Vernon who is currently cussing his way up the Cruise Gully... again!
