The name comes from a gentlemens agreement with Dan Varian to not try the problem until Ricky was no longer injured and had done the boulder.

No pads, no messing about, just get your head in the right place and commit. It's a bit of an ego killer this thing. Never desperate but never secure. Twelve tricky foot moves. On two of these moves you have to sustain momentum or you're off. You can't just pull onto the footholds - you gotta float onto them. [1]
