Description Suggest change

The Sponge is a heavily huecoed, south-facing wall containing one of the area's best routes, Pumping Huecos. It's right off the main trail so audiences are quite common.

Getting There Suggest change

About 15 minutes downstream, just after the 3rd river crossing bridge, you'll come to the Sponge. It is on the north (right) side of the creek, and has a large alcove with most climbs on the Sponge just to the right of this alcove.
