Description
Climb the left line of bolts through horizontals and ledges. Of the "Rambler" routes, this is the better one. Even so, the rock quality isn't the best and the moves aren't very distinctive.
Location
The South Face of Big Hunk is located in the corridor between between Big and Little Hunk. Walk through the valley between Snickers - North Face and Little Hunk. Walk around SW Face Right (Monkey Business Wall) to the left and continue past Little Hunk - NE Face (Left). From here you can see Midnight Dreamer. Start just right on a higher boulder.
This seems to be in the same general area as Midnight Rambler a reported Swain/Bartlett route.
