Y'all need to let your jeep know who's boss the first time. I told my jeep to start off on the right side





Before we got to the second obstacle, I told him to move to the left side of the trail



He was a little stubborn and stayed in the middle



Had to back him up, ride against the bank on the left side and the rest was all downhill, I mean uphill...whatever



Actually, when I was at Mountainside a few months ago, I was at the bottom of the hill talking to a guy in a buggy. He told me to start on the right side and move to the left after I cleared the first obstacle. I did what he said and got up the hill without too much difficulty.

Yep, except there are actually 4, three named and one un-named. If you're at the bottom, the un-named one is on the far left. Next to it is Thrill Hill, then Flashover and Full Throttle. Thrill hill is the one in my pictures. I wouldn't want to try Flashover or Full Throttle.

I would like to go back this weekend, but I've got some family commitments.

Cool. On the last ride I was on @ Mountainside (the one prior to this one), there was a group of us that tackled a couple of those. I believe it was Thrill Hill that I crawled up after one of the GA 2drs couldn't make it up (can't remember exactly who it was). I made it on the first try. Nitto MG's FTW!!

I believe this is Full Throttle that Wilky was attempting. It was the one to the far right, with the large step/ledges:

I tried Flashover on our last trip(Shortly after we had received about 5"s of rain if you guys remember) Front tires made it onto the rocks and that was as far as she wanted to go without ending up on her lid. I would love to see those hills when they were dry.
