This was originally a rappel route to the base of the cliff to avoid the primeval bushwhacking. "You know, I bet this thing could be climbed." Additional bolts were placed on rappel between the anchors to create a climbing route. The name was suggested because it follows a long arc down the face of the rock. When one of our star climbers fell on the third pitch during the first ascent "Falling Star" became all the more appropriate.
