Other routes on the slabs between the Phil's Bivvy Slabs and the Gill's Bivvy Slabs:
* Africa Slab (18) 45 m
The slab directly behind Phil's Biv, a steep section of slab bounded by 2 water streaks. There are 3 difficult sections, between scalloped ledge/footholds. The top 25 m to the belay is low angle.
Descent: walk down the side.
First ascent: Rick McGregor (lead), Peter Newton, 2/2/78
* Susceptibility Slab (19) 50 m
Above the 2nd stream East of Gill's Bivvy is a steep, clean slab with a triangle of white/red rock below it. Start at the white slab.
Pitch 1, 25 m: Climb the white slab, move left and then up trending right to the foot of a short corner which is climbed to a belay ledge.
