Description
Steep slab climbing on quality tan-colored rock with fair to good protection makes this well protected for Joshua Tree standards, but it's not a sport climb.
The fun moves, easy approach and lack of traffic make this a climb to seek out when in the vicinity. Three stars out of five.
Location
This route takes a direct line up the center of the east face of Hunk Rock and lies about 50' left of a prominent left-facing corner (Death of a Decade).
