    That was "IFS Hill", or so the Canadians told us. Was supposed to be the harder obstacle...it was not hard. For anyone. It was only slightly tricky cause it was soaking wet so the rock was slick. had it been dry pretty sure all of us would have just drove right up it no issues and taken any line we wanted.

    Good times :cheers:

    I especially loved that batch of photos Monte. I think you captured the essence of the 2 challenging spots on the way out. And the memory of that campfire scene in the shelter will be with me forever. Looking back, even tho everything was soaking wet...so much fun. :thumbsup:

    If its the one I'm thinking it is, Monte tried... on foot. :D

    It was raining really hard and the rock is damn near verticle. He had trouble getting any footing at all. So, no, we did not climb that wall.
