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.
(2) No trash cans anywhere in City of Rocks: urlzs.com/c4eZH

Description
Wander up the slab or traverse from climber's left to the base of the route which starts in a left-facing corner with a small crack in the back. You then traverse up and right along a 3-4 foot crack to another short crack/small corner that leads to the bottom of the face/pillar that takes you to the top.
Location
This route is situated left of White Huecos and right of Calamari on the southwest side of Bath Rock. This section of climbs is situated to climber's right of the Rebar Route.
Protection
Small gear in some questionable placements. There is one bolt one the face towards the top. Guidebook indicates anchors at the top but I didn't see them. This can be top-roped by using natural protection in horizontal cracks up top but I don't know the length of rope needed if one wants to belay a TR from the bottom.
