I had an absolute ball retrieving it. Thanks for doing all that.

I wondered what every became of the stash and just got this email notice.

As many have reported, the Sandthrax Camping area (and nearby highway) were trashed by the floods a few weeks back.

We drove through a few days ago and snapped these pix.
Utah DOT crews have...

8 of us knuckleheads chose "Little White Roost" as our second-day canyon, on our two-night car camping extrava
As always for me, the best part is being with my friends, as my skills are ok, but not...

We did white roost main fork and loved it. Good downclimbs some rapped some didn't. One very stinky chest deep pool and one stemmable pool. Very highly recommended.

Posting TR later

Thanks we're going to try and fit this one in.

There's some dissension among the group; we may just do Little Blue John, Pasture, and this one. Thanks!

Folks,

A group of us are headed to Robber's Roost for the weekend. The plan is to drive in from Green River on Saturday morning, do a shorter canyon on the way in, camp at a second canyon, do that...

What a novel, if not horrifying idea.

Well, now it makes sense at least :haha:

I think we should come up with some W T and F letters that teach people what to do when something goes bad on the way down. Rope has an unexpected knot, I...

I tried to google for WTF rappelling and canyoneering, and as you can imagine I didn't get much helpful info.

Is there a link to something I could read about this? I'm all about learning right now.

We have one member in our group who is convinced we'll forget, so we generally don't Stone, even though I love it.

Personally, I'm convinced I'm going to rig into the pull side and just superman...

Yes I've learned that one and love it.

Let me try asking my question a different way: When you rap double, do you just throw the rope through the rapide at the top and start rapping, or is there...

Eric do you tie a Stone knot or anything at the top?

Thanks for posting, we might try to bag this one as a shorty on the way home from a Swell weekend or something.

After about 6 months of doing technical canyons, we prefer single with a biner block and a pull cord. We've had situations where the double rope gets twisted with itself when you can't see it going...

Love it! Hope they went up the way I suggested. Looking forward to the TR.

:2thumbs:

Far as I know it's still sitting there. We won't have time to move it this weekend.

If anyone ever had thoughts of doing this, the location couldn't be in an easier spot.

Love the pix. Have to try that one sometime.

When you do Ramp and Cistern, you have to traverse a couple miles of open desert between the two canyons, to the south. Looks very similar.

I always...

Really surprised it's still sitting there on the road to Moab.

If I make it back on May 10th, I'm going to move it back to the swell.

Me too brother.

Since October of last year, I've done Cameltoe, Three canyon, Ramp and Cistern, left fork of Leprechaun, both forks of blarney (one fork twice), Slideanide and I just this Sunday...

Brian, for what it's worth, one of my best canyoneering buds was in the very first group on this hike.

I don't know if it was new webbing or not, but she looked at it, and found it frayed in a...

I'm a newbie (say 10 technical canyons) so I have little dog in this fight. However, using your argument, anyone who passed over an unsafe anchor, yet left it sitting there, would be equally...

Yikes. I've seen quite a few but never anything "aimed" at me!

Last fall, in the next-to-last downclimb in Moonshine wash, my wife jumped backwards and someone else said - "Look at your foot."...

I'm going to lay off the judgments.

I was not on this trip, but a friend was. She sent me a note, saying she'd seen the frayed webbing and wondered if it was safe. She was in the first group. In...

With all due respect, I think you should go back and read the BLM statement again. They are discussing whether innocent people out for a nice day at Corona Arch, should have to be endangered by...

No, that part about someone up top chucking a test weight, without even bothering to find out if anyone below was in danger of being hit.

If my daughter got hit by something like that, well, it...
