Atrue PA classic! This problem has the honor of being one of PA's older documented boulder problems. Although this climb was unnamed for a long time (the name Mojo was given to it over the past decade) it was a popular training problem for Old Penn State Outdoor Club members in the 1980s who routinely used Hunter Rocks as a training ground for other larger areas out-of-state. It has also been reported that this problem may even have been done as far back as the 1970s when one of America's most legendary alpinists regularly climbed here and developed other nearby routes--how could resist such an obvious and fantastic line. In later years my friends and I cleaned off the sit start to Mojo and added Le Dame Blanche that bisects the traverse midway and pulls over the steep bulge in the overhang; however, the traditional lip traverse on Mojo is the best and most exciting problem on the boulder.
