that's not me, I have a night off and am web wheeling on youtube. I already set aside April 7-15 for moab in 2012, Kane Creek and Fins n Things are on the top of my list. I've never done either.

It's pretty mellow when you're at the bottom of the canyon, crossing the river every few minutes. There's a tight spot at the beginning and climbing out of the canyon has high pucker factor. I'd do it again ... in Pete's rig.

The stretch of shelf road didn't look too bad in the video, but you need a really good spotter and nerves of steel. I had one of two. Roktaxi got us all through it. If you're built enough, you can go up the right side of that stretch of shelf road (it has a couple of big steps). The video doesn't show the quick 200-foot drop on the left down to the river.
After the shelf road, there's a drop, a quick turn and a steep climb that's also a bit of a challenge.

here's a good view of the drop off, if it's the same one Rob meant. in the beginning it looks like there are some ledges to the right of where he goes that you could do in a bigger rig. looks pretty scary, maybe I'll just do fins n things twice...

That's scary, Rob. I think that is the same spot he slips at near the end of the video. Those things never look as bad until you're right on top of them.

Not tough at all until you hit the rocky shelf. My Jeep aside from some skids, diff covers and steel front bumper is stock. Made it up alone, but the drop off is something that gets your attention.

:lmao: No, but the seats are black, so the stains are hard to see. Plus, I got a seat cover that hides them. :rolleyes:
