Jim could hardly talk about anything else at the American Ambling Club meet after the FaceLift. He's a good sport.

Good exposure, good views, easy climb - this thing is so much fun.
Way better than the Black canyon. I do hate me some poison ivy.
Donini's crazy

Having done The Cruise (haven't done the scenic version) and The Third Pillar, I'll say that The Cruise is way cooler, no contest! The Third Pillar is a cool climb, but The Cruise is a MOTHER F*#KING CLIMB!!!
It is more comparable to The Casual Route on The Diamond, which is also definitely a better 5.9. ;)

I've done it 5 times, with the first time being in 1980 when I lived in June Lake. The one thing I really enjoy about the whole experience is once you top out there is no descent. You collect your luggage and walk out. That being said, I think only the last 3 pitches are worthy of note.
