The west side of Window Rock has seasonal bird closure in the spring until June 15th- check for closure signs posted in the parking lot.
(1) The area, crags, and routes just north of the Twin Sisters are on private land and the landowner recently posted no trespassing notices at the gated road/trail to the area. Any access of these areas and routes is trespassing. The area was closed by the landowner due to trespassing, illegal camping, fires & trash, and disregard of owner's privacy.
Please be respectful of the land owner's wishes and do not climb or hike here until further notice. This includes White Lightning, Skinner Roof, Weather Wall, Yellow Wall, Larry's Annihilation, Needle Rock, Mississippi Fred's, and Secret Tom's. Park officials and CRAG are working to regain access to this valuable climbing resource. Be patient and check back for updates.
(2) No trash cans anywhere in City of Rocks: urlzs.com/c4eZH
(3) HIGHLINING IS PROHIBITED

Description
The prouder side of Window Rock, the west facing crag is a steep, bulging, over-hung, version of its back. With a handful of three star classics, this is a wall that should not be missed. Bring your A game, the west side can be rough.
The west side of Window Rock closes regularly for raptor nesting. Please watch and obey closures.
Morning shade / afternoon sun.
