4 out of 5 stars Bonanza

Climbed with Adrienne from Hungary. Her first multi pitch trad climb. Weather was suspect, so we had the entire West Phantom to ourselves except for Andy G whose was taking some photos for his next guidebook. Had a fantastic day. The chimney pitch is not near as difficult as made out by some, don't be intimidated. Those were a couple of nice corner pitches up higher. Nothing remarkable about the climb really. We watched the weather go nuts on the other end of the lake all day. Sometimes your just living right.

Nice climbing on good rock, with some exposure/traverse.

Amazing climb in an amazing setting. Traverse on the second to last pitch is pure gold!

Fun climb but the first pitch (OW) sucks despite some new bolts. Some route finding after that, but relatively straightforward. We topped out to find a foot of snow with a hard sun crust we broke through on the walkoff.. ouch.

Second Second ascent by: nayden on 2006-10-14 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Fun trad route

There are a bunch of pitons on this route which make it safer (if you trust old pitons of course). The first pitch is a nasty off-width chimney but it gets better afterwards. Rappel next to a small waterfall could be a lot of fun in a hot summer day, but it was not fun in cold October evening.

4 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

BETA ALERT: the beta on the last station. Take a 6m to 7m anchor cord. Save a .75 camalot + pinky tricam + 00 metolius cam. You'll probably need a .5m quickdraw for the .75. The .75 is pretty obvious up at the top in a slot that flares open upwards. The pinky goes down and to the left of it in a constriction that opens up both above and below. The 00 goes low down on the left wall.
