Keweenaw Peninsula and more particularly Houghton, offers visitors many recreations such as climbing. There is a variety of areas, suitable for beginners and more experienced climbers. Cliff Drive in Keweenaw County offers an unforgettable climb experience on its isolated basalt edges. Maybe the most preferred climb is Lie Detector, located in the Ice Fall area.

The climb starts off with an easy hunk and continues with a modest projection. The progression is slightly complicated and harder than someone can estimate. The end requires small face moves at the pine tree that resorts on the route. This route ends just below the start to Rated PG and gives the impression of a two- point course. If you are a rock climbing enthusiast, you will definitely enjoy Lie Detector!!
