(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
Start on a ramp, and immediately hit the crux. A vertically placed 00 tcu gives some mental pro to keep you off the approach slab. You also have the option of a shallowly placed #1 metolius near the 00. You can also step up before fully committing to the crux and place an even better #1 metolius that you actually feel good about.
After working your feet up and pulling a somewhat interesting side pull while leaning, you step up into the crack and get some good pro. Follow the corner system to the top.
