The project right of "Comfortably Numb" is "Mak Daddy" sent by Timy and mentioned in Climbing 273. http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/features/get_shorty_-_the_>>>>>
"Mak Daddy (5.13d), Alcohol Wall, Socorro: One bolt of 5.7 leads to a crux bulge (six moves, at V10), to a no-hands rest, to 5.11a to the chains. Six bolts, 35 feet; unrepeated Fairfield route."
