This line is basically "Patriot Arete (Right)", Starting low on the arête roof, climbing up and right, and then topping out as per "Patriot Arete"... This one is tough and well worth doing! 

   Start under the "Patriot Arete" in the same location as Patriot, but with hands on the right portion of the arête roof, left pinching the low sloper rail, right above on a crimp/pinch.  

  Make a huge move out and right to an obvious, deep, side-pull flake. Make another massive move up and left to a slopey but positive flat portion if the face. Finish as per "Patriot arête" after the final crimp rail.

'The Declaration

Liberty Traverse

Patriot Arete

Freedom Eagle

2nd Amendment

Under the steep main face, to the left you will find a "roof arête". At the base of the roof arête, find the high left-hand side-pull, and from that, start with the lowest jug at the base of the arête that you can comfortably grab. 

  Paste a toe and heel hook to start. Climb up and out from the arête to the long jug break at the lip, and finish with juggy ease.

To the far right of the front steep face of the boulder is a close-growing tree. Low and just left of this is a small jug with a pebble/knob in it. Match start here, traverse left into a deep jug rail, left more into a long gaston rail, and gain the high right crimp. 

  Nab the crimp at the lip of the boulder and work left into a sloper and a better large knob. Pop out left more to the massive "bathtub" jug at the lip and roll over for the mantle.  

  Could be in the v4/5/6 grade range, who knows..

Hands down a classic.

 Sit start under the steep face below the "eagle egg" dropstone. Find the small but very positive right facing good edge along the long, low right facing vertical rail. Match-up with a left hand above that. Smear feet and pull on.

 Blast up to gaston high and left to the "eagle egg" and then cross over to the good pinch. Keep it together to gain the next good rail and dyno out to the jug at the lip to top out.

 America.

To the right of "Freedom Eagle" find the left hand (left facing) flat side-pull pinch and the low right side-pull crimp rail (right facing) that you likewise heel hook for the start. 

  Sit start and pull up to the in-cut overhead. Make moves through good edges to the jug at the lip for the top out.

The Patriot boulder is full of tough, short, steep classics. Be sure to try the Freedom Eagle, which has a cool gaston drop stone shaped like and "eagle egg".  

  This boulder is crazy steep, not too tall, and just featured enough to have some tough problems on it. Bring some pads, as the landing is a bit rocky (but not terrible).
