After the crux moves at the start, I thought the climb eased up a lot all the way to the anchors. I could have sworn that this was the furthest climb to the right on the large ledge. I thought Jumbo Pumping Love started on the ground to the right of the big ledge? Definite signs you are on the right climb is the knife-like hold fifteen feet from the start and that there are 7 bolts on route.

It is the right-most route on the ledge - you're right. One of the funnest .10s I've been on at Shelf, too! Combines all sorts of moves - laybacks, crimpy face stuff, pockets...the crux with the razor hold is a right-leaning layback on a flake. Reward for the beginning difficulties is a series of jugs in the upper stretch. Do this route!

The way to determine this climb is to find the right most, waist high, bolt with the hanger and belay from there on the ledge. The climb goes directly up from there. The climb all the way to the right on the ledge can be led from the ground or from the end of the ledge but does not have a belay anchor up on the ledge.

The waist high bolt is a bit strange, but whatever, skip it and enjoy. I don't recall a sharp hold. I thought the crux was figuring out what to do once you complete the one or two super fun layback moves. You have a lot of momentum at that point. Maybe, that's where the sharp hold used to be? Still, after that, it's a mellow cruise, with huge holes to rest in.

The waist high bolt was a retro-bolt of the route. Did someone want it for a belay or something? I see no reason for it and it will be removed by the route owner.

Just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like... I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. -Nigel

Wow. I climb it. It was not pretty, but I finished it. I had to hang dog a couple of times. At the top I was so pumped in my forearms that all I had was legs.

A very fun route with a crux down low (just above or at the first bolt) and enjoyable climbing above. Contrary to what is posted here, this route is the second route from the right-most edge of the shelf/ledge. The right-most climb is the 5.10d Jumbo Pumping Love route. The waist high bolt, in my opinion, is placed there for an anchor for the belayer since the belayer is standing on an exposed ledge about ten feet above the ground.

I don't understand why people are so upset about the low bolt. I was standing on top of the ledge, checking out the opening moves, and remembering that I had read that the crux happens early. I thought to myself that I had a possibility of decking if I fell early, but then I found and clipped the low bolt and felt quite a bit safer. With that peace of mind, I flashed the thing. If the bolt bothers you so much, just ignore it.

P.S. Nobody "owns" this route, or any other at Shelf.

Referred to as just "Love Pump" in the Shelf Road Rock guidebook (2005).
