    High Spur

    Roost Day 1

    I meet up with Dan Ransom (CarpeyBiggs) at the Hans Flat ranger station at around 8:30am, and we carpool on up to the High Spur trailhead. The rest of this TR will be continued by Dan here:

    Be sure and check out all of the pics Dan uploaded, they are outstanding!

    It took us about 7+ hours from start to finish (with no car shuttle). We spent about 2 hours photographing the corkscrew section though.

    I have one... the Exit Crack.

    Kelsey calls it the Moki Exit but there are no Moki steps.

    Thanks Shane, We're going in Friday. Any time estimates on White roost? We need something in the 4 - 5 hour range on Saturday.

    White Roost is 4 to 5 hours. Hopefully I'll have a route description up by Friday.

    There are if you know where to look. There are also petroglyphs, indicating it was a "Moki" or Fremont route.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    Care to enlighten us on the proper place to look?
