Why fix lines, when this is the best part?

The infamous crux shot

Sitting atop the tiny summit after standing on it, looking back down at the belay before coming back down and going to the main summit.

I shot this of some unknown climber celebrating his ascent of Echo via Phantom Spirit (or whatever they are calling the north ridge route these days) towards the first of June, 2002. Shot from the parking lot with a 400mm lens by Bruce Wilson (http://wilson.dynu.net).

Lightning storm on Phantom Sprint

Fun BW placement on P1, allowing me to move up high enough to clean out a seam with a nut tool. I found 2 pockets large enough in the sloping slab to set my smallest brassie & peanut to make 2 moves up before getting an OK Totem. Meanwhile, this fell out!

Annotated photo topo detail of the middle 1/3 of the route, which is the most complex section.
