Description 

This is up the gully between Vampire Rock and Black Widow Slab. You can see this wall from the road when driving up to the parking. It is up behind Vampire essentially.

We were not sure what to call this place...does it have a name already?

Getting There 

Park as for Vampire Rock. Approach as for Vampire, then continue up gully to right. Follow cairns up, staying on the left side of the gully, then branching right near the top. A short scramble step leads you up to the ledge where the routes start (off left after ascending step).

L->R: 

A. Unknown, 10?, bolts & gear.
B. Orange You Lichen It?, 11- PG-13, 1p, 60', gear.
