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 great route that probably doesn't get done a whole lot. There are two starts. One directly below the crack which is probably 5.10+ and protected by a bolt, and one climbing over the white spot just to the right, 5.8R. After the crux beginning just follow the wide crack to the top of Elephant Rock. The climbing is really fun with huge buckets all around to avoid using actual offwidth techniques in the crack. The best descent is to walk off the back side of Elephant rock or rappel near Rye Crisp if people are not on those routes.
