Description

-True Grit Boulder-

A GHSP classic.

Start low in the middle of the boulder. Look for the furthest right of the low flakes and start matched here. The feet are thin to start.

trend left bumping through sharp flakes.

At the last of the flakes make a big move up and left to the higher jug. Follow good holds to the top.

-Note: This is an updated description after October 2017 when the main side-pull broke. The large right hand side-pull broke off completely, changing what the OG True Grit sequence was. This really doesnt change anything, with the sequence now finishing on what used to be the end of "True Grit Left" but worth mentioning if you've been climbing in GHSP for a decade. No more "Left" but only True Grit.

Location

When looking at the True Grit Boulder, the problem "True Grit" runs up the middle from a sit start on a small, sharp flake with only micro crystal feet. the line follows more small, sharp flakes, to a ledge below the lip, and then to a good top out.
