Description Suggest change

A fun three pitch line, unfortunately it seems that only the 3rd pitch gets climbed frequently.

The first pitch starts right of the cunning stunt area, it goes up a large block and climbs to the golden flake(obvious). Climb the left side of this until you can traverse right to the gm belay. (5.10)

The second pitch climbs a crack to the left of the dihedral, that is the 2nd pitch of gm. Climb the crack to a stance at the base of the arete. From here you traverse right to the gm belay via two options. Shorter folks will want to traverse low protecting this crux traverse with a solid black alien/grey tcu. Taller folks may want to climb up the arete to a fix pin before traversing right. Doing the higher traverse maybe wingspan dependent.(5.11-)

The third pitch tackles the classic heart of the country splitter hand crack, reaches a ledge and boulders up another short classic hand/thin hand crack. (5.10)

You can bypass any of the pitches by climbing the gm route since both routes share belays.
