Description 

Climb up the left side of the block, to the left of Little Giant, past three bolts.

Location 

This route is on a small block with two routes on the right edge of the Grotto, near the Left Flank (see Echo Cliffs photo). Scramble up ledges below and to the right of the block to approach. Junior is the leftmost of the two routes.

Protection 

3 bolts to open shut anchors shared with Little Giant. It is a good idea to stick climb the first bolt: the crux is getting to the first bolt, and if you fall before the first clip you could tumble off a cliff.
