Dru Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 so on p. 114 of beckey is a picture of this thing labelled "spectre peak" - also described in w ridge of fury description as spectre pk - - is it phantom? there is no separate peak entry for spectre, right? in the same picture - is that buttress to w peak of fury, above the labelled waterfall with the arrow, unclimbed? looks kind of bushy at the bottom?

philfort Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 Looks like its an insignificant bump next to Phantom Peak... i.e. so gentle that it doesn't get its own entry. I think its the ridgecrest with a snowfield in between Phantom and Swiss on page 117. Quote
Dru Posted July 31, 2003 Author Posted July 31, 2003 cuz on page 114 it looks like it has a nice little west buttress.... hidden behind the text Quote
John_Roper Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 Spectre (7840+, it was 7920+ on the 15' Challenger quad) T's off a little south of the ridge connecting Phantom and Swiss. It is just north of "Pickell Pass" (6038' Picket-Goodell Pass) . There's a short class 5 move required to climb it from the NE (Swiss) side. FA 7/29/80 by Reed Tindall, Stuart Ferguson, Peter Jewitt, and John Roper. Spectre's SW face is the most spectacular south-facing wall in the Northern Pickets, and is as yet undone, as far as I know, as is the nearly 4000'-vertical, full SW Ridge of West Fury rising out of Goodell Creek which goes over the "Pole of Remoteness," the most out-of-the-way place in the Cascades.
