This route is the first route left around the corner from Pumpin' Huecos, still on The Sponge proper.

Five bolts to a two bolt anchor.

The first bolt is still missing its hanger, but skipping it is not too scary.

Enhh.. Just trying to climb in Jason's style.. (he skipped it too?) But I couldn't. I blew the onsight when the currently-3rd quickdraw clipped itself to one of my leg-loops as I moved past it (right in about the same position Jason is in in that photo). Strange.
