Climb the wildly featured overhanging huecos & knobs out to a shallow rail just below the lip. From here an interesting move gains a decent pocket up and left. Topping out from here is easy.

The Apparatus

Step off the boulder about 8' right of Islands In The Stream and ascent up tthe overhanging features, turning the lip on some horizontal edges & pockets. Top out directly above.  The route got it's name when while attempting the 2nd or 3rd ascent, David Katz pulled off a huge block and fell into the pit below, landing on his back in the only possible spot that wouldn't kill you, with the big block smashing into the ground inches from his head!

Climb up the overhanging prow on pockets to a sloping dish you mantle/face climb into at 20' up. Standing up and topping out is very committing!  I backed off from up high several times over several days before finally committing to the upper moves sans pads or spotters.  I graded it 5.10+ back in the day.
