North East Fork of TCB - Robbers Roost
Date: 10/13/2024
Pretty damn narrow, on par with Alcatraz or Horseplay. Some very long squeezes that are psychologically and physically difficult. Quick approach and exit though, big bang for the buck.

Pretty decent romp, couple tight spots, some pretty spots. Exit is a bit of a slog, but the wash isn’t too sandy. The exit crack is potentially scary, and the top could be hard if there’s not a handline. Steep slickrock above that, too. Overall I would not take beginners in it, unless they have climbing/scrambling experience, mostly because of the exit.

North/Left fork. OK, not that exciting, somehow only did two raps. Not even sure where another one would be.

North Fork of Robbers Roost - White Roost

Lovely canyon! All the anchors were in good condition. I would definitely recommend doing the shortcut exit, though it is worth going down the final rap and re-ascending it if you are able. We were able to drive to the top of the "shortcut exit" with no unusual difficulty. A Subaru Outback made it too. There's a small side road going south-ish that might get even closer, but didn't investigate it.

Totally worth the walk. The ascending was awkward but not too bad

Pretty, but muddy! I think it would be a lot better without the mud. Missed the note about extending the rap from the bolts which led to a somewhat high partner capture for the next drop.

A fun trip, and highly recommended. Do note that the route from car to Hidden Splendor camp is upwards of 12 miles, so be ready for a hike. Also, the canyon can be full of that sticky, slippery clay mud that makes climbing difficult.

approach was a bit confusing but pretty fun. Fun downclimbs and raps, some pretty sections, all around pretty great. dry except for a calf deep pool at the bottom of rap 2.
