Perched on the rugged contours of The Camel’s Hump in British Columbia’s North Shore Mountains, The Hunk presents a sharp, focused challenge for trad climbers seeking a brisk alpine outing. This single-pitch 60-foot crack route begins just beside a scruffy bush that marks the start of its steep ascent. The climb’s clean, exposed line demands steady technique and thoughtful gear placement, as it snakes upward through solid rock bathed in the cool mountain air. Above, the panorama unfolds — dense forests stretch toward Vancouver’s cityscape, while distant peaks stand watch under wide-open skies. The route’s straightforward 5.9 rating invites climbers who feel comfortable with crack climbing and moderate alpine conditions, balancing skillful movement with a sense of connection to the raw landscape. Protection is standard trad rack, with bolted anchors keeping your descent safe on the western flank of the hump. The approach rewards with a brief yet rewarding hike through mossy boulders and whispering firs, arriving at the base without strain but setting the tone for a climb that commands respect. Timing your ascent for morning or late afternoon brings out the wall’s cooler shadows, and the climb’s relative isolation on a less-trafficked buttress makes it a quiet moment of adventure beneath the towering North Shore peaks. This is a route that embodies focused alpine climbing—efficient, precise, and grounded in the natural grit of British Columbia’s climbing heritage.
