Kate Moss 10c
FA: Vaino Kodas, Bob D'Antonio, 2003
Between the Vampire and Black Widow Slabs is a steep fern filled gully.  There are three bolted routes on the large slab to the right of this gully, and a gear protected route "Left Side". Kate Moss is the left-most of the three bolted routes. 15 bolts, 120'.

Consilience 11b
FA: Bob D'Antonio, Vaino Kodas, Moe Hershoff, 2003
Consilience begins just left of a mossy corner (Left Side, Layton Kor, 1961). This excellent pitch is just over 100' long, but you can lower to the ground with a 200' rope by moving uphill to the left. 15 bolts.

Gyromancy 11a
FA: Vaino Kodas, Bob D'Antonio, 2003
Just right of Consilience and Left Side, and just left of Dracula, is a bolted route that finishes on a blunt arete. 6 bolts
