    Will be tough but careful approach, good line choice and maybe stack a rock or two and it can be done. Do you have a winch? Take a buddy vehicle Heck might be able to go as well.

    Well in that case I'd try everything! Post when you guys want to try and it's sure to draw some good company. One of our favs. Closest challenging trail I know of. Don't be afraid of the winch. Open diff with 33's will take imagination and sound logic for choosing lines and winching technique, rocker damage would probably be the biggest threat. I miss the days of open diffs and 33s. I'd bet it's what made most of us the good wheelers we are today.
