Ascent Notes for: Phantom Staircase - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.22/5

Great morning at Donner prior to going to work

Phantom Staircase Left on top-rope. Fun climb my first 5.8

Deathly afraid of climbing after a bouldering accident some years back on Donner Peak. Great route, pretty much innumerable features. Had some issues with the repel (fear!), but otherwise, one of my favorite routes. I could sit on this wall all day.

like I said, trust the grade.

Short and fun. Better slab problems are on the Grouse Slabs but you can't beat the easy approach for the Green Phantom.

One of my first climbs back in the day

Great face climbing. As others said, totally in the feet. Easy TR to set, amazing views of Donner Lake, and a short approach. The arete is a bit easier, and the further you move to the right the harder the route gets.

best views of dl.

All feet, no arms required
