Introduction[edit]
Located between Humperdink and Buttercup, Dread Pirate Roberts is an easy approach with a scramble down loose scree to a really interesting section that includes one large rappel and a significant (by Death Valley standards) natural bridge with some small tunnels above it. It eventually joins up with the last rappel (or walk around) of Humperdink.
Approach[edit]
Take the Humperdink approach and continue one more drainage past it.
Note: Other area canyon beta describe the special circumstances of this road involving deep sand.
