The day after Nick Woolley, langutah and I scraped our way through the mesmerizing depths of Larry Canyon last October, we set our sights on one of Larry’s enigmatic neighbors: the north fork of Lost Spring Canyon, a lesser traveled and more mysterious slot in Robbers Roost. What we hoped would be the perfect Sunday morning “breakfast canyon” in the Roost surprised us with numerous physical challenges and dark, cryptic beauty. We were still car to car in less than 3 hours, but the challenges within those gothic chambers made time feel like it moved at a much slower pace. Several short rappels (one of which was from an old piton) and a plethora of physical, shirt-shredding down climbs and high stemming action kept the blood pumping. Lost Spring Canyon packs a lot of meat onto a small bone.
Enjoy the video!

This canyon has been on my list for a few years, maybe this year. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, everyone. dweaver2130, the music comes from an instrumental band out of Chicago named Pelican. Their stuff is typically really heavy, but every once in a while they’ll drop a more quiet and contemplative tune.

Pelican is sooooo freaking good. Great choice for a song and nice vid!
