This is the most unambiguous eruptive hot period I've ever seen. Once Gold Vent started, it and High did not pause or weaken until the eruption. The eruption began with two large surges in Upper Mortar, followed shortly by a simultaneous start of Lower Mortar, Main Vent, and East Vent.

Feather Vent start: 0:29
Mastiff start: 8:45
Giant start: 11:09
Catfish start: 12:40 (behind trees)

I learned almost everything I know about Fan and Mortar from Paul and Suzanne's article in volume 1 of the GOSA Transactions.
One of the last few eruptions of 2005. The extended, on-again off-again lock turned out to be a precursor to false locks and a multi-year dormancy.
This was the first day of the Norris Geyser Basin summer disturbance.

Very brief footage of a now-extinct hot spring of the Back Basin area of Norris Geyser Basin. Named for ranger Charles Phillips, this was one of four springs in Yellowstone permitted by the USGS Place Names Committee to violate an established prohibition against naming thermal features after people.
Phillips died in 1927 after accidentally consuming water hemlock roots, which he mistook for camas root, brought to him by some friends at Old Faithful. He was an early geyser enthusiast and had been preparing to write a field guide to Yellowstone's geysers.
