True Grit
Description
This was the original second pitch of Alias Bandit Bench. It's easy, but fun! From the first pitch belay, traverse up and right into a water streak. Pass two bolts and run it out on easy rock to the top of Badman Mezzanine and belay from the big tree.
To descend one can traverse 50' right to the anchors on top of Bandits in Bondage and do a double rope rappel to the ground. Another option is to downclimb the chimney on the left edge of the mezzanine and do two single rope rappels, the first a low angle slab, and the second and overhanging, free rappel to the ground. Watch out for poison oak at the base!
Location
This is the water streak up and right from the first pitch belay of Alias Bandit Bench and Lucky 13.
Protection
Two protection bolts to a tree anchor. Bring slings!
