Larry Canyon - Robbers Roost 3-3-07
Great fun in a classic Roost Canyon. Chef John, Larry and I got up early on Saturday 3-3-07 and drove to meet Spiderman Steve, Clark and three others(Andy, Landon, and Derek-our only newbie). We ate some eggs and antelope(?) sausage (thanks Clark) and potatoes and after a car spot, off we went. We were supposed to have two or three other newbies but they were last second cancellations. There was some scattered snow patches on the north facing slopes but it was scattered. We packed up a bit of extra gear in case the exit crack was dicey. Derek had never been in a canyon except Blue John (which doesn't really count does it?). We helped him hook up and we all rapped in. The moki step entrance was too dicey due to the patchy snow. We had a great time in Larry. There was a couple of recent rock falls, one apparently squished a deer. At least that is what it looked like. (Photo below) Big boulder and two legs plus a couple of ribs sticking out the bottom says squished to me. I named it Raulston. We slid, we scraped, we rapped and we hiked. When we got to the exit crack, we were golden. Not a bit of snow or ice to deal with. We exited around the butte right instead of left which seemed to be easier. Hike time about 5.5 hours. One photo I posted is of a little slit that drop into Larry just down canyon from the final rap on the right side. Anyone been there? The exit out of that canyon looks about 200 feet off the deck. Great day to get out of town. Oh ya. Almost forgot, Rays burgers are still the best and the urinal is still functional.

Functional or nonfunctional? I haven't been in Ray's for six months, but it seemed like that thing was continuously out of order for at least a couple years prior to that. :haha:
Ditto on the burgers. :2thumbs:

I heard a couple of months back that it was finally made functional and I was happy to report that it is still functional! (after being broken for years like you said) Seems to me that place is shaping up ever so slightly. I may have to comb my hair next time. :haha:
