9.) Central Scrutinizer 11b Starts in the thin crack
10.) Deep Throat 10a Climb this gaping slot just right of #9 and your identity is safe.
11.) Bombay 8 Another wide one just right around the corner of the same block as #10. There are some discontinuous cracks forming an alternate route just right of this route, sometimes called Bombs Away (9+).
12.) The location of Cornelius and Hairlip on the NW side of the Nautilus, just opposite Nautilus SW.
DESCENTS: There is an obvious fixed anchor/chain set at the top of the Practice Slab. There is a downclimb through a tunnel that exits to the west of Cornelius, and one can downclimb the NW end of the formation approximately 30' W of the Finally/Slot Area.

PHOTO 2: The Three Sister's Alcove
1.) Ejector-Rejector 10a Careful, if you're rejected, you're ejected. Scant pro!
2.) Slut 7 Crack climb that overhangs and doesn't protect too well.
3.) Folded, Spindled and Mutilated 10a Dyno to the pinch, get imaginary feet and find the first jam, all before the first pro. If you don't, you'll be mutilated.
4.) Slat 7 Slut's skinny sister, and slightly more protectable. Veer left and up at the shelf, following the right-in jam crack.
5.) Tat Exit 10a Slat's more complicated exit.
6.) Little Stone 11a Thin man, thin. A left leaning crackline that splits the face first lead by Ritchie Littlestone in '92.
7.) Slit 7 There is a 5.5 chimney that forms the right end of the Alcove, leading to a shelf. An offwidth continues from there to the top.
DESCENTS: Same as above, usually the last.
