Stein leads pitch 2 (5.10+) of Spook Book. He took an upside down 30 footer when a microcam popped. Lucky for him he had a helmet and Camelbak on.

There is a piton under the roof, then 2 bolts protect the face moves.
Pitch 2 of Spook Book follows the obvious corner in the center of the photo. This photo was taken while climbing The Sorcerer.
Ian leads pitch 3 (5.10a) of Spook book.
Spook Book (5.10+) on the Witch takes the obvious left facing dihedral at the top left of the photo.
Matt cruising up Spook Book.
John figuring out the crux section of the corner, where the crack peters out and you have to make a few delicate moves to a positive arete hold. There was a fixed nut and John also got in a black totem cam to protect the crux.
Pitch 3 (as per MP route description). We linked this with Pitch 2. This is the most moderate climbing on the route.
The awesome corner continues for Pitch 3. The gear is really good and this pitch involves thoughtful climbing that never seemed strenuous or spooky. A really fun pitch.
