Trail Overview
This trail earns its name with its continuous steep climb, off-camber sections, and ledges that demand full commitment--once you start, there's no easy way out. This trail is hazardous and difficult on several levels. There are zero winch points to secure your vehicle uphill. If you opt out, there is no safe turnaround, leaving you exposed and off-camber on a steep hillside. There are multiple uphill ledges of varying sizes. The trail is narrow and rutted, with loose rock throughout. Expect multiple wash crossings approaching the central hill with steep entrances and exits. There are sections where you'll be hanging tires on the uphill. Not for the faint of heart, this is an actual test of skill and nerve.
