| Driving
Directions: |
|
From
Hanksville: drive south on Highway 95 for 20 miles
to mile marker 20.4. Watch for a gravel road that
crosses the highway. Turn east (left) onto this
road and follow it for 6 miles where the road T's.
You'll see a solar pump about 300 yds before the
T. 2WD vehicles can park here; 4WD adventurers will
want to turn left here and proceed another .3 miles
to the trailhead. |

Comments: |

Tight
& scrapy. Usually dry (class A) but could potentially
fill up and be much wetter so be wary of recent
weather in the area. Lots of downclimbing, and,
as usual for Robber's Roost, No bolts. Natural Anchors
only, please. Make sure you know where your next
anchor is coming from before you pull your ropes,
as this canyon has some interesting natural anchoring
problems to tackle. |
