From the belay anchors at the start of pitch 5 of PentaPitch. Move out left from the anchors on slabby moves to finger crack. Many consider this very sketchy because the slab moves are not protected and a fall would be directly onto the anchors with a bit of a pendulum.

Tricia Brown waiting for me to warm my fingers and start climbing. 4th or 5th pitch...can't remember.

Lee just above the crux on the last pitch. There is a really nice triangle cut in the crack that lets you get your breath back before you make the moves over to the bolt.
