Description
This horizontal route can easily be seen when walking towards the southwest end of Little Hunk from Echo Rock. The route starts on a sandy (be careful) ledge below two closely spaced roof climbs on the wall's right hand side (Roofing Company & Monkey Business). Climb left about 15 feet until the moves pull you up 6 feet and then continue left on large holds to a thinner finish at a chain belay next to a shrub oak. CAUTION: The Vogel guide has the picture wrong on page 251. It shows the climb going straight left from the start. This would be much harder 5.10+? and not take you to the anchors, which are not where pictured either.
