Description

Stem chimney to point where cap block juts left (due north). Place gear and jam across gap to left-facing hand crack. Climb crack with some awkward moves to top of formation. The exit is vaguely reminiscent of

Nitrogen Narcosis

.

Location

On east face of Plumb Line Crag's upper tier, locate a niche immediately right of a leaning, detached tongue of rock. The rock tongue is on the left side of the east face. The niche contains two crack systems-the right is a finger/hand crack in the corner. To the left of the corner is a stemming chimney capped by a bridge of rock, spanning the chimney's top. The chimney and capstone comprise the route.

Protection

Bring a few hand-sized cams down to a few stoppers. A few long slings will reduce rope drag, key for getting through the leftward traverse into the crux. A two bolt anchor with lower-offs resides immediately left of the route's final moves.
