Make a move or two off the deck before getting a hand sized piece in the horizontal. Continue up and past the vertical crack, placing small pieces at good stances. Once you're in the yellow rock the climbing eases significantly. Traverse right to the Short Cake anchors.

 I claimed this as an FA because there's nothing in the guidebook or on MP to suggest otherwise. If you know different, please correct me.

Another steep offering from Joe Herbst. Take the crack up to an off-width.  

  Rappel the face to the right from the two bolt anchor on Shortcake with one rope.

This is a tough offwidth with an overhang halfway up. Pretty fun. 

  Rappel with one rope from the anchor atop Mc-Crack-En.

The best route on the cliff in my opinion.   

  Start to the right and around the corner from Combination Corner and Spinach, on the face left of Minute Maid crack.  Climb the featured dark varnished face past a series of horizontal breaks, which provide adequate protection possibilities.

This route starts on a fun little flake and goes up a corner to a roof and over the top of the feature to a sling anchor. 

  Rappel the route with one rope.

Start up a large spike of rock with an offwidth crack on its left side. From the top of the spike, jam up into the short chimney, then stem and chimney around the white chockstone that blocks the exit. There's some loose rock just below the chockstone. 

  Guidebooks have traditionally rated this route at 5.6, but it's likely to be a rude shock for anyone expecting a casual warmup.

Peanut Butter and Jam is a typical Joe Herbst offering on the right hand side of the Chocolate Rocks featuring awkward offwidth moves.  

  Build an anchor at the top, walk off left to the slung boulder atop Mc-Crack-En and rap with one rope.

A nice little route that will get your blood flowing. Slightly tricky to protect and it gets quite steep about half way up. Fun. 

  Rappel from the sling anchor atop Mc-Crack-En with one rope.

Scramble to the top of a block to the right of Minute Maid.  Climb the finger crack to below the roof and then make physical moves traversing under the big roof with a wild finish.

A challenging lead for the 5.8 leader, it has a little bit of everything, with some tricky protection placements. 

  Rap the face on the right from the two bolt anchor on Shortcake with one rope.

The Chocolate Rocks are the southernmost crags in Red Rock. The routes face south and east making for a sunny day of climbing.
