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.

Description

A fun route with a bit of everything. Starts with a pair of flaring cracks. Jam/layback/stem your way up to a short slab section. The slab doesn't have great gear, but is short and easy enough. Hopefully you got a good piece near the top of the starting crack.

Continue following the crack up the slab and slightly to the right. You can find some gear here, before the climbing gets hard again. Continue past several small overhangs. Last section could be done in several ways, either directly up and through a roof (probably 5.10- ?), or stepping left of the crack and climbing the face on thin holds (probably 5.8, just don't fall).

Belay at a big ledge, left of the main crack, or else scramble the last bit to the top and build an anchor there.

Many small variations are possible, especially through the small overhangs, but staying near the main crack makes the gear easier.

Location

On the front of Bath Rock, near where the old plaque used to be bolted to the rock face. The scars from the plaque are visible. Look for the pair of flaring cracks.
