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!

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).
