Rober's Roost Canyons in Utah, March 1997

This gallery comes from photos taking during Andrew and my trip to Utah in March of 1997 to do a technical loop hike through canyon country. The complete photos and text are at in the Robber's Roost Journel

	Lunch break on bench. We crossed the river, camped in the canyon across the way (Box?), climbed out of it, then crossed the table land off the left edge of the photo. Note the sandstone domes.		Climbing out of Box Canyon.
	Andrew tops out.		Trees still bare, dry creek has salt deposits.
	We came to a dead end with a pool and a wet crack beyond, which andrew wanted to climb past.		We rappelled down into the head of the canyon.
	The interesting swerls gave way to tight narrows.		Further down we came across numberous chock stones. We would lower the packs then chimbney down.
	In one spot we walked for several hundred yards in a tilted slot.		After the 4th rappell we took a break then explored up the side canyon seen here.
	We took a rest day.		Butterfinger product shot.
	Last bit of the trip was across the table land back to car. We walked part of the way that evening, then camped and got stormed on.		End of the trip, back at the car.
