Has anyone gone from the top of the W. Slabs and gone down and over to link up with Geurts? Looks like a fun link up solo but possibly a miserable schwack
It is pretty much what you think it will be. There is always a bit of tricky downclimbing and schwacking to cross tolcat unless you know right where to go. If you are feeling a big day of scrambling you can bop over to the other side and do Kamps ridge as well. The schwacking gets real down there though!

thanks! I'll leave my nice tracksuit pants at home :)
I did it last year and totally fucked my self by going to far skiers right. Epic scrub schwacking ensued until I made it into tolcat canyon. Check back in with where you went and Good luck!
I've done it a few times, it's not great but not too bad. Once you hop over the top of the Slabs you catch a sloping bench down to the west. It comes to a minor cleft that shoots straight SSW to the proper (Tolcats) start of Geurt's. As mentioned before, Kamp's is a nice addition to the day but I recommend starting there--then over the ridge and down the normal Slabs descent, up the Slabs, down to Geurt's, up to the summit and down that miserable-ass hiking trail.

I went the way Matt Selman described more or less. I'll add Kamps in next time, never done it and starting on it makes sense. Maybe in spring.
