Description

Start as for Pumping Harry off a good belay platform of rocks and clip the first bolt on that route. Once on the ledge, move up and clip two closely-spaced bolts (watch the z-clip potential) up and slightly left from good holds on the right. Pull a strenuous move over the bulge into the scoop full of huecos. Keep your eyes peeled for faces in the huecos as you cruise the heavily featured hueco scoop up to another short, steep section. One last final move just below the finish involves some smaller crimps before busting out a bit of mantle to gain the big ledge and the anchors.

Location

Middle of the Sponge formation, between Pumping Huecos and Pumping Harry. Marked as the yellow route in The Sponge beta photo:

The Sponge. Yellow route is "Hueco Pareidolia"

Protection

Six brown-painted hangers/bolts to a two-bolt anchor with chain/biners. Shares the first bolt of Pumping Harry.
