Phobos, 5.9

Phobos, 5.9

2nd Pitch- 45m- 5.9/ This is a spectacular pitch but if anything it is a bit soft for the grade. Take on the obvious twin cracks above. Move into the left one at first until you can hand jam both, placing gear at will. The topo mentions off-width above these twin cracks, but there really are not any required off-width moves. There is a huge jug up and right that seemed helpful, but otherwise this pitch is real straight forward from bottom to top which offers a large sloping ledge gear belay below a wide corner.
