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 compromised 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! |

| Bouldery start and tricky to clip the 2nd bolt. Watch out for wasps. |

| Good set of sequence moves at the crux, but everything is there. |

| Always pretty much agreed with Mark's 10a/b rating (1990 guidebook) but have seen a lot of better climbers having considerable trouble on it. Personally, I enjoy the route. Great warm-up. |
