This is what the top of the Penthouse Cracks looks like. The toprope and rappel rings on the right tend to get chopped from time to time. If they are not there, you can use the 10+ year old 4"x4" that is secured into the crack on the left, or large cams.

Penthouse Cracks has 4 solid cracks mostly accessible by the same anchors. The left two are 5.10a, the middle right is a 5.11a, and the flake on the right is a 5.8.
