Default Hell! And Now MORE HELL!!!

As I stated in another post, this trail really made me anxious.

Yes it is that steep! Tim at the top,...



Me,... Dropping in,...







BullsJK,... Going down,...





And there's only one way out, and IT'S UP!












An amazing trail that will keep you awake after having run it, wondering "what if?,..."

Pictures DO NOT do it justice. Thanks to Mowabb for being our resident expert spotter. Great time with great people.

Put these coordinates into Google maps: 38.57019,-109.55306

Whilst you're there make sure you don't miss the overlook over the Highway and Colorado river, it's a most amazing vista!

Hey Parrothead!

You could have done a lot of the slick rock trails, but Hell's Revenge, which gets you into Hell's Gate, has some pretty high and steep obstacles, many of which did not appear to have bypasses (we didn't really look for them, anyway). I also used my lockers a fair amount because I didn't want to start sliding off the narrow trails.

But if you went with a guide who knows the trails well, it would certainly be much more comfortable for you to try it out.

I hope you make it out there someday soon. It's amazingly beautiful and fun.

Those coordinates took me to W200S/191 on Google maps...

We did not go for Escaloter because one of our guys totally shattered his rear driveshaft and only had front wheel drive. Bollocks! It was 7 pm by the time we made it off the trail, and we weren't looking for more trouble at that point.

Escalator sure looks cool! We'll hit it next time!

And I need to start listing my Trail Runs as well. I have some catching up to do for my sig to look like yours!

Default stock on hells revenge

stock on hells revenge... you bet... in our group a stock 4 door jk.... and an old yj- no lift 30" tires looks like a mail jeep... it did all of hells revenge except hot tub and tipover (both have bypasses) didn't do escalator- it's doable- but if you slip into the wedgee- sheetmetal damage..... hells gate is an offshoot from the trail.
