At the jug right before the crux moves to the left...


Description 

Ok, strange name, good climb. Left-most route on Bulge Wall. Starts two climbs left and below belay ledge with tree. Felt like 10a so I compromiced with Van Horn's rating of 10c/d at 10b. Fun climbing on positive holds, some of the moves are reachy.


Protection 

7 bolts to 2 bolt anchor.

Great route, but a little soft. Try LOVE PUMP 10b/c which is to the right of turbo, and is the righmost route starting from a ledge.

In Stewart Green's guide this was called "easy" 10a. I agree.

There is only one or two tricky moves up high on the route, while the rest is 5.9 climbing on big holds.

I know I'm in the minority, but for some reason I had trouble with this climb and found it harder than other 10b's or The Big Chill. It only has one crux section of a couple of moves, but I always feel scrunched up, then have to match on a long reach which feels like I'm going to peel off of. I guess it just exposes my weeknesses, although I'll play the 'height card' and say it's easier for short people!

Nice route. At the top after clipping the last bolt are people going straight up to the anchors? It felt a little thin to me so I came down a move, went over to the right, up, and then back left to the anchor. That was pretty reasonable but would produce an exciting ride in the event of a fall.
