This is the Dark, North West facing wall 1 mile up the main canyon from the "Y" intersection that forks off to Mt. Carmel Tunnel. Twin Brothers is 800' to 1,600' high. Aid climbing prevails here typically following thin crack systems on good rock. Steve Chardon and Dave Jones made the first ascent (Lost in Transit) of this face via the lower right hand buttress in 1983. The bigger, main face (Peyote Dreams) was first climbed in 1994 by Eric Rasmussen & Sean Plunkett.
Getting There
From the road, hike up the talus to the base of the wall. Takes about 1/2 hour.
The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Twin Brothers:
Ancient Gallery 5.10 A3 Trad, Aid, 8 pitches, 950 feet, Grade V
Lost in Transit 5.11 A4- Trad, Aid, 8 pitches, 1000 feet, Grade V
Approach: There are two main drainage systems coming down from the cliff. Take the left drainage (leads to the base of Peyote Dreams), NOT the drainage to the right. Bust right a little more than 3/4 of the way up the drainage to find a faint trail marked with carins. (there is not really any "talus" as stated above)
