On the north side descend on rock then grass into Emily Basin and climb to the northwest to hit the extreme true left tributary of Emily Creek. Look for a scree slope which drops down into the creek from the northwest ridge of Emily Basin. Alternatively a cairn is at the lowest point of the ridge before the ground drops away to the north, and another cairn marks a light trail down through scrub into Emily Creek. If you are at the tree line in the basin then you are too far east, do not attempt to descend down through the trees from Emily Basin.
