Had to work this PM, but did a quick trip up and down the Phantom. Followed some tracks up around the waterfall (MW88888888's from Sunday?) then straight up the avalanche path. Stability was so-so down low, but quite good mid and upper. A Ruschblock @ 5,400+ wouldn't release at all. Top and through the small tree was near-epic, some sloughing on wind-scoured ridges lower down. A good sized slab of about 8" released as I dropped into the waterfall and ran down the trough into the creek, but it should be good to go now (down to rain crust).
