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
(3) HIGHLINING IS PROHIBITED

Description
This steep route is located on the SW corner of the rock and enjoys some late evening rays away from the crowded west face. You can belay from the ground, but a 4th class approach will deposit you on a ledge below the climb.
Follow "white huecos" through overhanging rock. There are a number of route finding cruxes, which add to the pump factor. The third bolt is poorly placed and levers your biner open, so be careful. You can place some optional gear along the way, and you should consider an anchor if you belay on the upper ledge system.
