Mindbender Canyon - Robbers Roost
Date: 10/16/2023
Several potholes had knee-deep-waist-deep water that was unavoidable for all but the very tall. Rebuilt 1 deadman and partner assisted the rest. Just Bram and me. 150 ft rap at the end was amazing! Take off your cotton layers before getting wet. The moki exit is no joke. Be ready for a sketchy climb.

Not worth the drive. Got to ascend the last bit. Didn't go into the very bottom of the cave due to a large puddle of indeterminable depth. Would have made it hard to get back up over the lip if it was very deep.

Canyon was dry. All anchors in good condition. Very easy canyon, 2 raps, mostly walking. Would have been better with a shuttle. Very family friendly and beautiful. No stemming really.

No Mans Canyon - Robbers Roost

It had just flooded. 3 swimmers, everything wet. All anchors and webbing caked in mud and difficult to evaluate. We replaced 2 anchors and backed up the rest. Many were buried under mud and water. Fun canyon! Difficult escape walking through canyons instead of untop. Undefined trail. Lots of partner assist short drops (not rappel).

Larry Canyon - Robbers Roost

The canyon contained about 4 more rappels than noted in the description. Took closer to 7 hours to complete. AWESOME canyon. Really glad to have the shuttle or it would have been a VERY long day with a group of 4. Carried a 70m and 100 ft. One rappels was definitely over 100 feet - glad to have the extra rope. Pay attention to the webbing and pulls. Hike out is 5th class and hard to see in sections, but really beautiful at sunset when we hit it.

3rd time running this canyon. Did it as a finisher to a windy, rainy day. Canyon was dry. Bram and I finished it quickly.

Canyon was dry other than knee-deep water in keeper pothole at the end. Bram built a 3 to 1 for Cam, Natalie, Torie, and myself off bulge in the rock. Lots of great stemming and rappelling for beginners. I would recommend it to anyone.

Horse Play Canyon - North Wash

Very challenging (physically). Lots of downclimbing and stemming that would be difficult for beginners. Narrow in spots. Great second canyon of the day though we were tired on completion. Ran it with Bram and Cam. 2.5 hours car to car

Death Hollow (full) - Escalante
Date: 08/03/2021
Beautiful canyon, lots of river travel due to poison ivy on the sides. One deep section on day 3 in the middle of death hollow with water above my head. Made for some interesting route finding with the SROM group.

Some water in first pot hole. Webbing at escape. Optional slides made good opportunities for body anchors or pack pulls. Great beginner canyon!
