Answer:  CLIMBING THE WALLS

(The zenith of stinky puns?  The culmination of years of pun-tificating?  Yes, the boys have reached a new height in groan inducing Jumble answers.  Possibly their peak performance.  Their crowning achievement of cajolery.  Could there be a capper?  Of course!  They regularly outdo themselves.

All of today’s clue words are known commodities.  The jumbles “sloas” and “cabone” appear to be new, with “lirgl” and “limwed” having definitely been used before.  The answer letter layout was an imposing thirteen letter jumble.  Very cryptic, indeed.

Towering cartoon of “El Capitan”!  You could get vertigo just looking up at that escarpment.  Forget about looking down!  I’d love to see Yosemite someday.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
