Top Part of "A Night Climb" (yellow) with the alternate pitch of "The Christening" shown in blue.

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.

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!

Triple-Trunked birch on a ledge 10ft up marks the start of all three climbs: "Middle of the Night", "First Knight Returns" and "Grey Ghost" on the clean slab just left of the corner-start of "A Night Climb for Two Knights" (Left branch gone 2020)

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)

second half of P8 A bolt now protects the crux move.

P8 - Start of P8 of "A Night Climb", and also the start of Ground Control (1991)

P4 - climbing the clean white slab near the end of P4 (telephoto from P3 belay stance)

P2 - Climber is about to begin the traverse through the "Black Band". He is pretty much directly above the "ST". The "Rounded face" is a few feet left of the rope.

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.

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.)

P5 - RW on the Start of P5. Flake and "singlton pine tree" can be seen just right of the climber's upper body and head.

Moving from Star Trek's 2blt anchor (end of P3) to the bush/tree ledge of P4 (1966 belay "ledge")

?Celestial Path? - Looking Up and Right from the end of P2; is this the route of Celestial Path?

Looking down on P4 from belay. Climber is about at the location of the ancient fixed wire nut.

P4 Easy crack/flake above bush/tree ledge

Flake and "singleton pine" on P5

Looking up at the middle of P1 of the 1966 route, it climbs the easy flake.

Alternate P8

Looking down the first 20-25 ft of the P1 of the 1966 route. (Note double trunked tree. From below it is not obvious the tree is double-trunked.)

"Ancient" fixed wire nut about 1/2 way along the traverse. A couple of years ago on an ascent the loop of webbing turned to dust when it was toiuched.
