Loren Foss and Tom Michael on pitch one, or two if you go by the topo. I always link pitches one and two into one long, super fun pitch of varied climbing.

Near the top of pitch 6. Just around the corner after the backwards c-shaped 5.11 pitch. Linking pitches 5 & 6 worked well.

Steep fingers on Pitch 6.

The start of pitch 8. Climb through the tree and up the wide crack to reach the base of the bolted 5.10 slab.
