Description
Approaching Little Hunk's southwest face from the Echo Rock Area one will notice a giant flake leaning against the main face, which is where this route is located.
Start off a boulder near the left arete of the giant flake and climb up to a second bolt. Move down and right from the second bolt, then go up and right past two more bolts and a bit of a runout to the top. Descend by rapping off anchors on a ledge atop the route. Use a 60-meter or longer rope to rappel from the anchor near the top.
While the rock isn't the best Josh has to offer, the moves are good and the position on the flake is unique. Overall, a seldom done but worthy route for those who like J. Tree thin face/slab routes.
