Start over raspberry bushes and a thin moves allows you to clip the first bolt.  Sustained up and right then up and left following the bolts.  Touching the crack to the right makes it easier (at a lower grade) but then you face a difficult transition to move left and over the bulge.  Continue up the friction face to chain anchors.  You can top rope this by scrambling climbers left up some easy 3rd class.  If you do use long slings in setting the anchor to avoid rope drag

C is for Climb

Grover Explains Near and Far

Bert's Whitewash

Don't Cry Big Bird

Done with Larry DeAngelo, it is easy but run to the first bolt. You want to be sure you are competent at the grade. I've noticed the upper section is getting harder as the nubbins are being worn smooth from traffic. Chains at 75ft. 

  Well, the original poster didn't spell the name right but we all know it's an elephant. 

  I don't remember who did it first, Larry or Tom Beck

If you like thin slab moves on sharp rock and a committing crux then Oscar Finds Treasure will delight you. After you clip the crux bolt you still have some thin and sharp terrain to get over before the angle gentles. Then a clean shallow corner to to the chains. 80ft. 5.9  

  Done with Clarissa Hageman, Marc Rosenthal, Mary Weeks, Corey Colley, Neil Marchington. First Redpoint: Tom Beck

Ernie Steps Out is a homage to an old school Tuolumne route: "Steppin' Out". How hard this route is depends on your height. Little more committing maybe than Big Bird. Again 75 to 80 ft to chains.  

  Done with Marc Rosenthal, Cory Colley, Tom Beck.  

  Don't remember who did the first redpoint.

"C is for Climb" has flakes still falling off it and doesn't get enough traffic to clean up yet; thus a top rope problem. Rated somewhere around 10b/c 60 ft to lower set of chains  

  Originally done with Clarissa Hageman, Neil Marchington.

"Grover Explains Near and Far" follows a line between Don't Cry Big Bird and Ernie Steps Out.  Done with Tracy Wroten, Neal Wasserman, Cara Kalafat, Tom Beck.  Maybe 5.7/8 

  First Red Point:  Tom Beck

Bert's Whitewash was done with Clarissa Hageman. Steeper and more committing but well protected moves at the start take you to a sequence of steps where the route is more run and then over a bulge to anchors. Stay off the slightly rotten rock on the right. 70 ft to chains  

  First Redpoint: Tom Beck

Good route to start on at Sesame Street. Crux is a little thin and all about your feet with several ways to do it. If you're solid on 5.7 should be no problem to lead.  

  Done with Marc Rosenthal, Mary Weeks. First Redpoint: Tom Beck I think.

Limestone sport climbing on east facing wall. 75 ft. from 5.7 to maybe 5.10, certainly 5.9. Only 2 are topropeable.
