The jug hold pulled off by George on Sept. 16, 2007. Thankfully, it did not alter the difficulty of the route much.

One of my favorite routes at Las Conchas. The 5th bolt probably needs to be replaced. It is not loose but rock is missing around part of the bolt. I think there are 6 bolts.

Great route! Big holds on overhanging rock. Checked out the setup this past weekend and found all bolts to be in good condition. Somebody replaced the anchors with new springer hangers too.

This route is so freaking amazing! It's a shame that there aren't more routes of this quality in the vicinity. Also it seemed a bit higher than 50ft.

There are. Just head upstream a bit. :-)

I agree with Jason. Though I concede that Pumping Huecos is one of the best routes at Las Conchas (probably the very best route, unless you climb 5.12 or 5.13), the movement is ultimately forgettable for me. It's just a steep jug haul, and there are plenty of longer, cooler and better versions of Pumping Huecos at El Rito, Enchanted Tower, etc.

The routes at Upper East Fork tend to be longer and have more unusual (and therefore more fun, at least for me) moves than those at Las Conchas, this route included. But the rock at UEF is not quite as good, in general.

To each his own, I guess.
