If you are placing the wheel on the ground and pumping downward, find a rock or a peice of wood to put the head of the pump on. I have used this strategy on the roadside and been able to reach previously unheard of (by me) mini-pump pressures.
Ah possibly, but the jumper is WAY more versatile...

I don't have issues reaching high pressures since the pump I'm using is a frame pump, and the jumper would allow me to position it exactly like the aforementioned morph or regular floor pump minus the funky bracket but plus some versatility.
