Looking at the East Face of The Slab's summit from where the ridge ends and you can walk right off (past the standard downclimb a ways). Unfortunately it was a little too snowy to solo the summit that day.

Looking up from where I started the route. I went up about 15 feet to a rail that I followed to my right. From there, I continued up and right until I was under the large buldge in the top right of the photo. You can do a really fun layback traverse clockwise around it and then continue up on easier climbing to the ridgeline.
Lots of greenery.

Terrain on the ridge.
Beyond this, follow a narrow arete past a troublesome tree, and make a scary step down while hanging off great holds on the crest. <br> <br> - From the original description.
Sarah chillin' just after reaching the summit ridge. The next couple hundred feet are easy to negotiate.
The descent ramp I used instead of the flake or rappelling. The flake can be seen in the foreground for distance perspective.
Downclimb options.
Sea monkeys! The summit ridge pools contained tiny silvery shrimp.
