It feels wrong but you'll have to step over the trail line. Scramble down a short drop to reach the base of Beginner's Crack on your left and the trail-head for the approach to Summit Crag slightly to the right. Mind vegetation and your impact on the area.
If you're hiking up from the lower parking lot, make a right at this sign. From the upper parking lot, take a left. Head for the summit.
