Phobos, 5.9

Phobos, 5.9

3rd Pitch- 30m- 5.9/ Follow the easy wide crack/corner. The guidebook calls it 5.8 at the bottom to 5.6 at the top, but it all seemed like pretty quick ground to me. At the top of the corner, mantle through the small overhang to the top of the cliff. This 5.9 exit move is a variation from the original route, but makes much more sense with no reason to avoid it by traversing out right. This last move is well protected. I belayed from a tree about 30’ away from the edge of the cliff. Phobos, 5.9, 3 Pitches, Phobos Deimos Cliff, Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park, July, 2013
