Little White Lie 5.7R- NW arete of boulder immediately north of J Rock. Rap from tiny pine. 30 ft. Blue Sky 5.8R/X- Center of face to the left of arete. Boulder unprotected moves to easier ground. Can also be top roped after leading Little White Lie. 30 ft.

Route details are copyright Ray Ellington, John Bronaugh, and other Red River Gorge climbers. Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. The information in this guidebook is subject to error and should supplement never replace common sense and caution, competent guidance and instruction, and actually being outside. One should be especially cautious on matters of route length, descent type, and number of bolts (especially since such things do change occasionally).
