Aaron climbing the 2nd pitch of The Cruise.
Ryan Dresser navigating the .8 R peg after the technical corner.
From Charlie Fowler's archived blog "Charlie on the Loose": a topo of The Cruise drawn on the back of a check by Earl Wiggins, not long after he and Jimmy Dunn freed Layton Kor's old aid route in the Black Canyon and produced this classic climb.

A route overlay for the starting pitches of The Cruise and Scenic Cruise.
Phil Lauffen making his way up the "10+" stemming corner, which we agreed was the crux of the route, probably by two letter grades.<br> <br> He's about 70 feet into the pitch, and there isn't a decent rest until you're in the bush, about 25 feet above Phil. After that there's a brief section of 5.8 face climbing to the belay.
