Park on 92nd. Walk to the barriers, orient yourself perpendicular and just walk straight. You'll easily find the trails which take you right to the rock face

Original guidebook
Several left-side climbs are listed as part of Breakfast Cracks in the old guidebooks. Overlaps can be seen here for the 112 climbs. Those old TR only climbs have become stand-alone bolted lines with their own individual anchors and unique ending sequence
Some boulders have been scrubbed and cleaned thanks to Bryan Smith.
Boulder on trail to Wall of Shadows. V1 stand start with RH on R arete, traverse left to topout. V2/3 sit start on arete with hands on either side, use LH hand sidepulls to eventually reach chalked rail and traverse to top right of boulder.
