Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description Lie Detector is the perfect finger crack you can see as you walk up the road. The climb starts out overhanging and backs off to 5.10 above the slopeing ledge 15 feet off the ground. This climb is often done as an aid route.
Protection Use small nuts and cams on bottom of climb up to a #1 as you get higher. Bolt anchor and rap rings on top of rock

| As I recall, the face to right of the upper crack portion of Lie Detector went pretty easily at about 5.10- (via TR) |

| Great looking crack, lousy climb. Starts with a few feet of very painful finger-tip crack climbing, then the climb immediately becomes trivial. |

| Fun crux moves, but do avoid the upper crack after sunset |
