Description 

Phantom is the nice tips crack behind the Chingando Pillar. The crux comes a little less then halfway when you loose your jams and have to crimp the crack for a few moves. The climb isn’t runout if you dial in the gear but it can be real tricky and hard to place. If you mess it up and the gear pulls, your going to deck on the sharp uneven boulders down below. The bolted line to the left is Crossroads, a sport line that shares the same shuts as Phantom. The bolted extension on the arête goes at 13d.

Protection 

small wires and tcu's. Two or three yellow c3's or aliens are useful.
