Description
Little Hunk despite it's name is a rather large formation that's located opposite Echo Rock's East Face. Although not very far from the road it tends to see much less traffic compared to the Echo Cove and Echo Rock areas.
The rock here varies in quality, with the southwest face having generally light-colored, grainy rock while much of the northeast face is sprinkled with a nice patina which lends itself to climbing.
Getting There
From the east end of the large, gravel Echo Tee Parking Area, follow a well-marked trail east past the east (right) end of Echo Rock (passing Swept Away) into an open area where the Little Hunk formation will come into view. Continue northeast on the obvious trail which leads to the base of the south face (Trespassers, et al) or continue around the north end to reach the northeast face (ZZZZZs, et al). Approach time is about 10-15 minutes from the car and flat.
