Description

Aptly named, from the right angle The Chair looks just like one, and sitting atop the southern end of the massive Little Hunk formation is this seldom climbed block with a handful of routes on mostly good patina and a commanding view of the surrounding area.

Getting There

The best approach is by heading directly to SW Face Right (Monkey Business Wall) and then moving around to the east face and heading up a break in the wall right of the route Groove Avoidance System.
