Description [Edit]

One of the best routes at the crag. Steep, sustained, and pumpy as hell. It's a nice step up in difficulty from Crankenstein due to some smaller holds and fewer rests.

Location [Edit]

Just to the right of Crankenstein. Belay from the 4th terrace from the bottom.

Protection [Edit]

Bolts.

Hard to imagine this route is 12a/b with its neighbor to the left at only 11c (before the big rest jug broke off). Crankenstein and Pump-O-Rama feel to me very similar in difficulty and style...and I wouldn't argue too hard with the climber who said both were 11d.

Sweet line though, whatever the grade! Sep 3, 2017

Sometime between the last two Saturdays, the left-hand crimp at the fourth bolt got super loose. Pull gently and it may last a little while longer. I don't think it's necessary to move past that section, but it will be a little harder once it falls out. May 14, 2018
