  From Green River: Drive west on I-70 to Highway 24. Head south on Highway 24 for about 25 miles. Just before mile post 136, turn left onto the Maze Road, a grated dirt road suitable for most 2WD vehicles, though better with a high clearance 4WD. Turn left (east) at the Jeffrey Well (mile 6.8). Continue east & south on this graded road until the junction at Little Saucer Basin (mile 24 or so). Turn right (south) towards Burr Pass; veer right at the "Ekker Ranch - 7 miles" sign. After driving another 6.6 miles, veer right before Ekker ranch and head less than a mile to a junction. Turn right here and drive 1.1 miles to where Larry Canyon crosses the road.

Comments:
  Tight & scrapy in places, some diagonals. Usually dry (class A) but could potentially fill up and require swimming 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.
