Guess I missed that jug - hung under the first roof. The cracks down there are a bit slick - above they are perfect!

4 out of 5 stars enjoyable route

We used this route to get to the top of Blues Riff and rap in to the base of the second pitch of that route. In terms of climbing quality, Phobos pales in comparison to BR, but is still a fun outing.

Second Second ascent by: andrea37 on 2010-09-21 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Sweet 2nd Pitch

P1 is steep and burly, but there is a hidden jug to aid the transition from the crack to the face.
P2 is a sweet, sweet double crack.
P3 is mellow; we traversed right on the slab at the top.
