Description
Climb the arete of the free-standing "boulder" in the parking area just east of Paul's Paradise, passing four bolts to the anchor. The crux is near the top. The route gets its name from the method we used to first get to the top of this pinnacle... I used a slingshot to get a light nylon line over the top of the formation. I then hauled a climbing rope over the top, whence Nurse Ratchet gave me a belay on the easier east face. Established top down, hand drilling.
