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.

Looking north.
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.
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.
Lots of greenery.
