The crux seems to be just getting off the ground with a stem start.
All of the routes in this area favor those with good footwork for friction/slabs. This was a great lesson for me, a more traditional crack climber.

Like many of the moderates at Penitente the guide book grade assumes you levitate over the initial moves. Tough climb for a 5.7 unless you are very comfortable on slab. Anchors are wearing thin at the top.
