Pumped Puppets

Description

Intrigued? For the full show, you'll need to bust through the Pump Lust crux to bolt 6––but deny the temptation to clip it, lest you'll find yourself tightly strung on the climbing ahead. Instead traverse right for two bolts to intersect with Puppets on a String. Dance through the upper sequence on Puppets and hold on tight or you may find yourself dangling like a marionette. This has been called the best route in the corridor.

Note: this is slightly different from Pump on a String as described in the North Tahoe guidebook, but this seems to be the more popular variation––likely because Pump on a String requires a super long draw on the 4th bolt of Salad Bar, whereas the described variation traverses right and directly crosses the 4th bolt of Salad Bar.

Location

Same start as for Pump Lust.

Protection

10 bolts to LO.
