Access Issue: (1) Weather Wall, Yellow Wall, & all the crags north of Twin Sisters are CLOSED. (2) There are no longer trash cans in the park. (3) Highlining 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 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. This includes White Lightning, Skinner Roof, Weather Wall, Yellow Wall, Larry's Annihilation, Needle Rock, Mississippi Fred's, and Secret Tom's.
(2) In 2024 CIRO implemented a no trash cans anywhere policy. Be prepared to take your trash home with you. facebook.com/CityOfRocksNPS… and nps.gov/ciro/planyourvisit/…

Description

A relatively secluded area with some nice mellow sport climbs.

Getting There

Park at the Circle Creek Overlook. Hike along the dirt road watching for Geowatt signs. At the first Geowatt sign, head north along a trail that takes you past the Bad Seed - Eviction crag. The trail will eventually head west and cross through a gate. Continue heading west along the trail watching for the next sign for Geowatt and Lions Head. You hike directly past Geowatt if heading to Lion's Head. 20 minute approach.
