I have no idea what this route was, but it was at phantom spires below a route called anal sex. It was a fun 5.8 crack, but compared to Kenny and Canon I had little fist syndrom and couldn't get the same fist locks that they were able to.

I needed a good hold on this part of the climb and I decided to use a piece of rock behind my head. It felt really weird, but it worked for what I needed. If its confusing, I was leading up the crack in the upper left hand corner and the dead log is huge and farther down than it looks.

This is Vic trying to get the second asent of Drop The Hammer at a newly found area.

The sunsets from camp are like this on a weekly basis. Not a bad place to be.

Another look at Andreas trying Madness. Steep long hard moves.

Every time I'm going up wrights road and am able to look west, I see climbing to my hearts content. I've yet to get a partner back in to explore these climbs.

Classic Arete; lieback, crimp and edge up this bolted highball boulder problem.

beautiful face climb on lower spire with a bouldery crux start and heady steep climbing on jugs above.

This is how my boyfrIEnd spends most of his time when he's not actually on the rock

Another great day at Phantom Spires Angela climbing along, on a classic line on the Upper Spire. Photo taken by Ian Katz.

this was my first view of the Spires as I approached to camp for a weekend of craging. I was in awe!

I swear I was grimacing for dramatic effect.
