Climbing "Pumprisse" (grade 7) on the Fleischbank pillar is a truly unforgettable experience. The route's name hints at the forearm-burning pump that's practically guaranteed. The crux moves, typically involving steep, slightly overhanging rock and strenuous crimps, demand not just strength but also technique and smart pacing. The exposure on the Fleischbank, with its sweeping views of the Wilder Kaiser range, only adds to the thrill, and occasionally, the terror! Successfully topping out "Pumprisse" is a testament to a climber's dedication and a rewarding victory against gravity and fatigue. It's a classic of the area, known for its solid rock, challenging sequences, and the sheer physical commitment it requires.
