Colorado light off-roading in Sept.

We frequent the western slope often. Good times

 

So coming up to this obsicle is a little intimidating. I'm not going to lie, we all had a liquid courage beverage before this, said good luck and went after it.



Coming out of the exit. Pretty steep and felt like I was in a space shuttle launch.



Coming up. As you can see, the wall face on the drivers side is pretty much straight up and down, but levels off as you come up. I felt very stable at this point. For references, the man in the yellow shirt is 6'3".



I didn't realize my front tire was lifted so high....kinda glad I didn't. Still felt ok, but was getting tippy at this point. I had to make a decision to go for it and be ready to hit reverse and full throttle and a really good chance of ending up on my lid. So I opted to take a strap. My winch was busy sucking down my front suspension.



The strap was hooked to my frame and unfortunately to the drivers side. It rolled me over pretty hard on the rock face. I was resting on my cage pretty hard. Still stable, and felt good about unhooking my winch from my front axle and attached it to a winch point and pulled myself back over and drove out. I was laughing pretty hard. Only damage in this was my pride and small scratches on my hood.

 

This one is just nasty. I can't believe I crawled this one, and I was the only one to do the first two hard ones without rope. Then again, you see the pics in the other post. Ran out of talent.





Then this happened. We had to hook up 3 winch lines on snatch blocks to get this 5000 lb pig unwedged.



I'm glad Matt had his 5 point harnes on. He was upside down for 10 minutes rigging him up.

 

Looks more difficult from the top.
