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/…
(3) HIGHLINING IS PROHIBITED
Highlining at City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park is prohibited as of August 28, 2019.

Description

Pitch 1: Climb a crack through the roof or climb left of the roof on the face protected by 2 bolts. Then traverse right to slab climbing protected by two more bolts. Climb straight up to belay on a ledge on the ramp heading left. 5.8

Pitch 2: Follow the ramp up left to climb a wide crack. After the crack move right onto a ridge/ fin with one bolt on it. Follow the fin up and left to a ledge and belay just above the ledge next to a big hole in the rock. 5.7

Pitch 3: Climb an easy ramp to a short crack to the right. Set belay above the crack on the slab to allow for easier communication or continue up the easy chimney until the rope runs out. 5.6

Pitch 4: Continue up the easy slab and cracks to the top. There are alternate cracks to follow to the top on the right all are no harder than 5.7

Location

Starts on right side of face before trail to "Sinocranium" goes under a boulder.
Decent: two 60 meter raps down back side

Protection

Light rack of cams and nuts with one #4 cam for the wide crack on second pitch. Long runners are nice to have to allow for long wandering pitches.
No bolted belay stations.
