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

A route overlay of Journey Home.

An annotated photo of the approach to the base of Journey Home as viewed from Cruise Gully on the approach.

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

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

Fun in the sun at the top of pitch 3.

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

Phil Wortmann leading the second pitch

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.

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

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.

Topping out on Journey Home.

Journey Home.

A shot showing the approximate location of the route.

The low-to-mid 5th on approach to base of pitch 1 of Journey Home. Roping up here is personal choice.

Exit pitches.

Starting up pitch 4.

Looking down from the top of pitch one.

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.

Somewhere on P5.

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

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

Just above the 2nd pitch chimney/roof.

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