There is a bypass for this one, the rock garden

3253

There's an easier way up Whale Rock so it's kind of a bypass. This Jeep is taking the middle of the rock. As you're looking at it from the bottom, the middle is difficult, the left side is extreme, the right side side is easy.

3256

The Stairsteppers here have a bypass around that obstacle

3258

There is no bypass for this one,

Or this one,

Here's the squeeze from another angle. It would definately be tight and you have to ride over the split rock with the right front. I used my sliders more on this trail than any other trail I've been on. (Of course it was sometimes on optional obstacles) The hoops on the sides of my rear bumpers also saved my rear quarter panels. I would not recommend this trail without sliders (unless you view body damage as a trophy)

Nah, with a good spotter, you can get through it unscathed :thunb:

Check out this pic of a fullsize rig going through it...........

I can't find the pics of the other full size rigs but it was all good. A '76 Ramcharger, several full size Broncos, a GMC Sierra. At about the 45 second mark, you can see a full size going through it

Just listen to your spotter & nobody else & you'll get through alright :D
