Red line="A Night Climb..." using the "slab start" variation(s). Blue line is "Star Trek" (P1's normal start is the left blue); the yellow dashed is "Lost in Space" var. with Gamma Ray to its right. Black dashed line is believed to be Celestial Path.

1966 Piton, on P8 of "A Night Climb", just below where "Night Climb" traverses right from "1991's Ground Control". It was dark, so we left it in!
About 1/2 way along the P4 traverse. The "brown groove" starts at the protection. Or you can move left and climb directly up the slab beyond.
"Knights Slab" route photo, just left of 1966's P1 of "A Night Climb..." <br> Blue= Original FA line of "Night Climb" <br> Yellow = 5.6-5.6 <br> Green = 5.7 <br> Black = 5.7 "top out" <br> Red = 5.8+ - 5.9+ "top out" <br> Dashed purple = easiest "top out"
Top Part of "A Night Climb" (yellow) with the alternate pitch of "The Christening" shown in blue.
second half of P8 A bolt now protects the crux move.
Josh starting P4 (the traverse pitch) It is easier and less bush climbing if you move left at the level of the bolt (or even below it)
P8 - Start of P8 of "A Night Climb", and also the start of Ground Control (1991)
The large, dark left-facing corner system that "divides" the "Star Trek" slab from the "A Night Climb.." portion of the slab. (Looking from the mid-slab start of P1 of "Star Trek", as described in that climb.)
?Celestial Path? - Looking Up and Right from the end of P2; is this the route of Celestial Path?
JS at the "nose", end of P2 of "A Night Climb..." (and "Star Trek") Rope runs up the "left" of the two choices to the bolt on the traverse.
