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!
