Description Suggest change

Start—This is a variation finish on Two Lane Highway.

Climb Two Lane Highway to about ¾ height (your feet are just at the bottom of the quartz flake/dike three feet left of the Two Lane Highway crack). From this point, traverse right five feet out onto the Plumb Line overhang (crux). Climb the overhang to the top. This is probably the most gymnastic 5.11 in the Gorge with stellar moves up the overhang. 

First Ascent—Unknown. Mark Nord named it and popularized it after working out the moves in 2004, but he was introduced to it by another climber who had climbed it and thought he had climbed Plumb Line.

Location Suggest change

Birds nest area. Starts on Two Lane Highway.

Protection Suggest change

Top rope should be set over the roof at the Plumb Line top-out point.
