Descending from Basteir to the Tooth

All the guides I’m reading describe how to get from the Tooth to Am Basteir, not the reverse.

Can anyone advise where I could find this info? Or even how to do it? Abseil? Length?

TIA

Scramble north down a bouldery cave from the nick, the last step down is tricky with no exposure but a fall down the "hole" looks like a very bad idea.  Insitu anchor was good earlier in the summer, can use it as a hand rail to get to cave floor.

I did the abseil on a doubled over 60m rope but I'm fairly sure 50m is fine.  25m in the scrambling guide.

Sounds like you're describing abbing off the Tooth (down Kings Cave Chimney), not getting to it from Am Basteir?
