Squeeze and Heart Attack Hill

Finally got out there...
Went with my dad's friend, who I hang out with more than my dad does, but, he made it through in an 80-series Land Cruiser. Is it a first? Who knows. 6 feet of rock rash pinstripes were installed on the squeeze for him.

I got through the squeeze no problem, 3 attempts though to get the high line on the left side. I was pretty freaked on on it though, I didn't want to get body damage! Heart attack hill wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for some reason.

I ended up snapping a mount for my trail master (disaster) kit. We had to mend it with a flat steel piece from a high lift jack and two hooks from some ratchet straps. I drove all the way back home, and over some obstacles though... hah.

This was a pretty hard trail IMO. Several obstacles, all were do-able though with correct spotting.

On to the pix and the videos.

Squeeze



Will he make it?


Nope...

Right on! LOL I had thought you went and ran Kelly flats in colorado because we have 2 obstacles on Kelly flats - both of which are in this video. Heart Attack Hill is first, and then the squeeze. Or maybe we call those the chutes. Either way. LOL

And then I was wonderhimg how you did that since right now they are closed due to snow!
