We contoured north, northwest to the benches leading down to Twin Lakes, descending the ridge, behind which is seen the right one third of the northern of the Twin Lakes.  The ridge becomes exposed in the lower section.  We descended into the main drainage to the south, working back toward the notch.  It might be easier to contour from the notch all the way to ridge which descends to the saddle between Twin Lakes and Toxaway Lake, then descend using the trail, bypassing Twin Lakes completely.
