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

A nice crop of rock far off the beaten path. This tall featured crag has two lines worth stopping to climb. The routes here are mixed and require a light rack of small to medium cams. The lines are around 90 feet, so a 70 meter is preferred. Morning shade and afternoon sun. Get here on the early side as it will get very exposed and hot in the summer. Chain anchors for both.

Getting There

Approach from the Boxtop trailhead. Follow this TH until you reach the creek or dried creek bed, turn right and head east around the cluster of rock and skirt the base until you find the obvious checker featured face.
