North Fork of Robbers Roost - White Roost
Date: 04/22/2022
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

Water Canyon - High Spur

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.

Music Canyon - Southern Swell

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.
