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
If you've climbed everything else on Elephant Rock or are into hard, thin mantle moves, certainly check out the second pitch of Where Egos Sore.
Chris Barnes recently re-bolted this climb. The climb is now 2 pitches.
The first pitch is a fun safe, fully bolted, 10a sport route which ends at chain anchors below the bulge and 2nd pitch crux mantle. This will become a popular stand alone pitch once people figure out it's there.
The second pitch involves moving left into a small pod and a good rest before the crux bulge. Move up, clip the perfectly placed bolt at the bulge. Paw and grunt your way through the crux mantle move on slopers and poor feet. Let out a sigh of relief and cruise 5.10- terrain past a couple more bolts to the anchor. A single 70 meter rope will get you down but just barely--tie knots in the ends of the rope.
