Access Issue: (1) Weather Wall, Yellow Wall, & all the crags north of Twin Sisters are CLOSED. (2) No trash cans. (3) Highlining temporary ban in place for CIRO and CRSP
Details
(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
By the authority of the park manager, Highlining at City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park is temporarily prohibited as of August 28, 2019.

Description
A seldom-visited and scruff crag, with little to recommend it. We traveled there from the Building Blocks, and honestly found it not much worth the 5 min additional walk. The nearby BB routes are far better.
This crag holds 3 published lines with 1-2 stars, but I am skeptical about if they deserve them.
The crag is scruffy, with lichen and scales of loose rock telling a lonely tale of few suitors. And that's all this old hag really can expect, based on my viewing and experience.

Getting There
From the Circle Creek Overlook Road, hike past the 'Bad Seed' on your right, then the 'Building Blocks' on your left. Just as the trail is ready to tun Northward, towards Tahitian Rocks, there is a sign on the right of the trail pointing towards Bucketland. Skip through sage to the obvious corridor of rock, and climb on the West face of the East formation.
