I think we need to do an epic trip of California. Mr.Newsom, are you game for a movie (to shoot)?

LOL, IIRC, the only comparison was between SOB Hill and Holcomb Creek as being in the same league; the first is graded 8 out of 10 in Colorado, the second was driven at night as part of Inland Empire 4-Wheelers as a "beginners' run."Rover Mac said:Thanks for sharing, enjoyed your write up and the photos. Especially the comparisons to the Ca Trails.
Never made this years NR from Ca after my viscous coupling seized in Mojave the week before.

Neither is a fair assessment, but it gives some funny prospective.
Rover Mac said:Funny prospective, from my perspective...
As I first ran Heart Attack Hill many years ago I have frequently used the "well its not as treacherous as heart attack hill " to reassure myself before a particularly steep and loose descent.

Looks like a good time out there. Who's getting winched up?p m said:The guys in SoCal who have driven on this trail know the spot well. Here's how it looked from the top; the engine stalled on the last ledge, and I flew backwards into the manzanitas without brakes or steering. A multiple backflip is very possible - and happened to a few in this spot. The ledge near the top is steeper than Heart Attack Hill (although this section is very short).
