The crux may be getting off the ground and to the first clip. After that, it's sharp, crimpy goodness with a few jugs thrown in until the anchors.

MoonTooth

Tesseract

Little Red Corner (AKA Bat Corner )

Snake Fight Crack

Behemoth

This is the first route on the left side of the wall. It has 3 bolts along an obvious crack. This was used to access the clifftop to set up toprope anchors in the past.

Tesseract climbs similar to

MoonTooth

. Climb an early crux followed by crimpy positive holds through the rest of the climb.

Little Red Corner (AKA Bat Corner) ascends an obvious, red, left-facing corner. I haven't led this thing yet, since I haven't carried trad gear up there so far. Start with fingers and moves up through hands with some fun liebacking in the mix as well. The softness of the rock is not super inspiring for a leader, but it's a fun toprope or a possibe lead for those soft rock connoisseurs. There also appears to be a family of bats living in the crack about 3/4's of the way up. You can set up a toprope pretty easily after climbing

Tesseract

. Just climb past

Tesseract's

anchors, and you can walk along the ledge over to the cold shuts at the top of the route.

The same as its neighbors, the crux seems to be the first few moves off the ground. Clip the low first bolt before making a move to a good stance, and then make another move to a good hold and clipping stance for the second bolt. Similar climbing with crimps and positive holds gets you to the anchors.
