    Default Cliffhanger 2.0???



    Anyone done this hill climb off the Switzerland Trail? The Fast Lane (video bloggers) does test drives here and I figure some of you folks have probably done this..... I haven't done the Switzerland trail but will soon - and plan to tackle this as well.

    Just curious since I don't see anything about this in Trail damage. It's mapped from what I can tell as forest road 458.1B (between Gold Hill and Ward). Obviously not doing this wet and snowy but anyone else interested in doing this?

    I would definitely be up for this. Everything I have seen from TFL looks doable. Especially after seeing you on ironclads!

    Never heard it called that name, but have driven by it numerous times while running switzerland. Been on my todo list for awhile.

    I'm interested.

    Just poking about the MVUM there are a bunch of short stuff trails I'd be interested in checking out. Many are probably not too interesting - but they exist and I've never traveled'm

    I think this might be also called Silver Jack (road 458) and the 458.1B is called Chipeta loop. There appears to be multiple loops in this Silver Jack trail area of the Switzerland trail.

    either way, maybe we should plan a Switzerland trail run and include this Hill climb as an optional loop (either at the beginning or end of the run, depending if we start from the north or south).

    There are quite a few, but here is one video testing 3 different Jeeps.

    I'd be very interested in tagging along. We did Switzerland in the F-150 in like 2010 or so - had no idea there was a named offshoot. Looks like fun, and do-able for a stock Wrangler.

    I'm in assuming the planned date lines up with my ever changing schedule!
