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.

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.

Access Issue: Open with restrictions - Private Property
Details
This crag is on private property but so far the landowners have had no complaints. Keep a low profile.
Description
A profound and aesthetic, single pitch crack with a few tricky moves. Great jams, good gear, and length to boot!
Climb an overlap to a two inch crack in a shallow dihedral. Follow the break heading into an alcove and pull a small roof. Protect and pass the thin and inobvious crux, then continue on another 65 feet using the crack to finish at a chain anchor tucked away to the left just before the top of the butress.

Location
Directly left of the bolted Fly Like an Eagle, this is the left most, thinnest and longest crack line.
