Description
Begin either by scrambling up to the base of the crack or start directly up from the desert floor on somewhat crumbly rock.
Begin off a small pillar at the base of the crack. The crux is early, negotiating the off balance moves getting to good finger locks. The upper section is wide, but with plenty of options to stem and intermittent big holds.

Location
Grain of Truth is located on the West Face of Jimmy Cliffs, just around and right of Friendly Hands etc. This alcove gets sun most of the day, and can be quite warm. It ascends the right of two twin cracks in dark rock.
Protection
Normal rack of singles, a #4 Camalot or similar for the upper section. To descend, you can either head all the way to the top, then negotiate the gully to the right back to the base. Another option is to head up about 150' then head left up and over to the anchors on the top of Friendly Hands ( closer than you might think ).
