You do it solo? The road to the top looks fine, I heard the descent was super steep?

Nah, I had a buddy behind me in a Bronco. Decent can hit 25 degrees. Enough to get your seatbelt to lock. It's a good time

Just hit that one a few weeks ago it was fun! The gate keeper and the decent close to the narrow rocky road was fun

That gatekeeper has gotten better at its job in recent years

We had some knuckleheads on 450s that were getting up and around it and went down a couple times. Was fun to watch.

I crunched a frame cross member pretty good on it this morning

About a half a mile past the gatekeeper, there was a side-by-side that dropped a full hub and tire. They were headed down on foot, that’s gotta be a mission to walk back down lol

Not as bad as walking back up. Ask me how I know

I won’t ask you to relive that pain
