Description
Nicotine was Moore's first 5.13, a fact evidenced by the rusty bolts. While pretty stout for the 13a rating given by guidebooks (for me, it was as hard if not harder than Zeus), it is nevertheless a worthwhile endeavor with technical moves (including a devious throw), excellent rock, and a bit of spice that only a Moore's Wall sport climb can offer.
While Nicotine does have an independent finish, it may or may not have anchors. Feel free to venture up the lichen-covered rock to see if they exist. I opted to finish on Mighty Mouse's final crack and anchor.

Location
Nicotine is located on the second main North End buttress, left of Vascular Disaster and just right of Mighty Mouse. It begins off the stacked boulders (the same start as Middle Road and Boogie) but steps just left and climbs clean, gray rock through two bulges. Above, it crosses a white face to a red band where can step left onto the Mighty Mouse finish.
