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.

Description

This is a small continuous wall running the west side of the rock formation starting by the outhouse at Site C. There are a few very short problems along this side.

Getting There

Starting at the outhouse as Site C, walk left of the first prominent boulder you see (i.e., the Site C boulder) and continue walking along the left side of the rock formation. The Backside Band starts after when you see a short off-width crack on the wall to your right and extends until you reach the UFO boulder.
