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
(3) HIGHLINING IS PROHIBITED
By the authority of the park manager, Highlining at City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park is temporarily prohibited as of August 28, 2019.
The park(s) is reviewing highlining activities. Here are Google Drive links to the closure and the updated Code of Regulations for CIRO. drive.google.com/open?id=1y… and drive.google.com/open?id=1Y…

Access Issue: The Twin Sisters formations are off-limits to climbing.
Details
The Twin Sisters formations are off-limits to climbing: The Idaho Historical Society has deemed that climbing interferes with the "Historical Viewshed" of the California Trail Corridor and has lobbied successfully with the Idaho State Parks to make climbing illegal on the Twin Sisters. The Access Fund has unsuccessfully negotiated restoration of climbing on the Sisters.
Bolts have been removed as a result of this decision (including descent anchors). Those that remain, if any, are undoubtedly outdated and dangerous.

Description
Note: This description is for the historical record only. All information contained within is likely outdated and inaccurate. Many, if not all, bolts have been removed from the Twin Sisters formations and climbing on them is illegal. Do not attempt to climb these routes for your own safety and compliance with the law!
Excellent face climbing up increasingly bulletproof rock characterizes this lead-bolted test piece. This route began below a very high, very rusty first bolt. Three well-spaced, original bolts once led to a short, protectable crack, then four more original bolts continued up the slabby upper wall to a former anchor (which was in major need of renovation).
