Here's the back side of Hells Gate.....Kinda looks like a waterpark ride in this pic. To get a feel for the grade look at the angle gravity is pulling my tow hooks...

For rock crawling an auto is definately the way to go but I really like the conrtol of the 6 speed!!!
Brent, after watching that video I'd say you would definitely have benefited from an auto box! Did you have a spotter going up there? It's an amazing feeling once you get to the top without breaking anything! Well done!

Yes, I did have a spotter.....that would be a siicide trail without one. Most of the time you can not see the correct line, your just looking at blue sky. The spotter had to raise his hands above his head to give directions. The video was taken from a higher vantage point than where the spotter was standing. The spotter was the 1st guy I passed near the end of the video.
