Where's the best beta on the descent from First Creek Slab?

Thanks in advance

From Kurt Hicks:

1. Rap 30m from bolts just below the spindly pine tree. Tie knots. Ends at bolts on left wall.
2. Rap 60' to the cool thread.
3. Rap 100' down gully, then downclimb class 3 to more bolts. Can skip thread if you have two ropes.
4. Rap from bolts another 30m to an alcove, then down climb skiers right (cairn, low 5th class past a bush) to the big ledge. Alternately a double rope rap gets you to the ledge and bolts near the pine tree.
5. Two more raps with one rope (tie knots) or one with two ropes leads to the base.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
