Description Climb up to the "tooth" flake, then step up into the twin-crack groove. Follow groove ~40' (crux) until the angle eases, then ascend up left along a black ramp/slab under a beaked overhang and along the same line for ~20' to the obvious crack/flake system breaks through the short, steep wall above, landing you directly below a two-bolt anchor.
Location Same start as Plumb Line, just below the obvious twin crack system to its left.
Protection Small to medium-large cams (C4s to #3, couple of medium C3s)

| I found this deceptively difficult, pretty stiff for a 9.
When the angle eases, you can traverse right and lower from the fixed anchor on Plumb Line (setting you up to TR that route). |

| I think this is 10a. Sustained and harder than it looks, but well protected. |
