Descent route. There is a tree near where I am standing taking the photo with slings to rap into this gully which you can then walk out of and back to the base. Can also downclimb (low fifth class) avoiding the need to rappel.
The climbers' path to Condor Buttress is tricky to find. We never did find it on the way up, but on the way down we maintained the trail. Here's my beta: Park at a pullout on the left about 0.25 miles down Icicle Road from Bridge Creek CG; find the trail at the boulder in the photo; after passing the boulder, immediately cut left and follow a path upwards to below Bathtub Dome; then follow the path under the base up, up, up and rightward towards Condor Buttress which you can see above. It is about 1500 feet and 1 hour above the road.<br>
Beware of ticks early in the spring....our tick count in April 2016 was Me: 26, Will: 27.<br>

a view of the start of the climb. Climber in blue is stringing together the first 2 pitches. Thought this might help others confirm they've found the start of the correct climb.
