Phantom Spires

June 23, 2019

Went to Phantom Spires. Flashed YTP’s proj (largely out of spite). Now I just need to get good enough to actually lead it.

Routes Climbed:

  • North Ridge (P2 5.5 “trad”)
  • Over Easy (5.7 “trad”)
  • The Prow (5.10a/b sport)
  • Candyland (5.10c toprope)

Declined the opportunity to go questing up an undeveloped route (knowing that things always look lower angle from below than when you’re actually climbing them) after some well-meaning but clueless stranger on the ground with a guidebook told me that the anchors for The Prow were actually to the right. Cried the entire time but sent it anyway.
