Our mini pitch 2. We stopped P1 on a nice ledge, then made an easy traverse out right to this wide section. A #5 would be nice here, but a few 5.6 moves up and you can place a #3 or 4 deep. Just above you'll find another comfy stance to belay below the splitter 2nd pitch proper.

Tauru climbing the dihedral on the 2nd pitch of Sidewinder in the Superstitions.
The money 2nd pitch. This pitch alone made the hike in worth it.
My attempt at a decent topo while bored at work.<br> <br> The red line is the line we took.<br> <br> The Green line on pitch 1 may be the correct path<br> <br> The green line for the top pitch was a difficult looking variation out left following an exposed crack that looked pretty cool.

Looking up P3 from the belay ledge. The moves above the gear looked/felt kind of spicy, but the climbing was rather easy once commited.
