Description Suggest change

This good trad route may be started three ways - from the ground under some huge boulders or from atop the boulders (the more popular method, which has two possible starts).

Starting from the ground behind the huge boulders and climbing directly up the crack into the obvious left-facing corner makes the climb 5.8/9 PG.

Starting atop the huge boulders (the more popular method) has two options:

1) Make an anchor (purple, green or red Camalot) and belay the leader down and right to the edge of the huge boulder. It's possible to step across into the corner and climb up the crack (5.7+/5.8-)

2) From atop the huge boulders, go up and left on an easy flake (as for the short person start to Incandescent) then traverse right on a ledge to access the prominent left-facing corner system (this makes the climb 5.7). 

Whatever start you choose, continue up the corner to a steep, dark-colored flake on the right wall that leads to a stance in a corner. Finish up the short corner to the top.

Gear anchor and scramble down the toe of the Little Hunk.

Location Suggest change

Located on the right side of the face and just right of Incandescent.

Protection Suggest change

Carry gear to a blue Camalot. If you want to build an anchor to TR the route, you'll need a cordalette or some long slings.
