    I've decided to call it Cardiac Hill. Though there were some other pucker spots as well. Almost rolled twice.

    Yeah, that's probably not the right word. More like insane. I don't have a spare parts box, like Rob. And I don't have the mechanical skills of my buddy Josh. I was definitely the ugly stepchild in this group. Think about it. Damn truck has a camper shell. With a rack on top that has over a hundred pounds of gear on it.

    Well, not many of these photos scare me (although my truck isn’t quite ready), but only the first one here makes my butt pucker. Dang, wouldn’t want to roll there.

    Very difficult to capture the severity of some of those obstacles on camera. At least with my iphone. Yeah, the one you say looks like a big pucker most definitely was. But there were others. You really just have to trust your spotter.

    :thumbsup: I completely believe you. Sure does look like fun, though. Thanks for sharing all of the photos.

    Additional factor is I'm really not ready to completely trash my truck. I know that sounds like a contradiction coming from a guy who just ran the Rubicon, but I came so close to bashing my doors above the sliders due to leaning in towards rock that it was nerve racking, at times. You can't capture that on film, either.

    My first dent was acquired on a Signal Peak run a couple years ago. Most was eventually cut away for High Clearance rear bumper. Still enough left to remind me of my mistake.

    I took my DSLR with me on this trip but didn't break it out until the end of the trip. You're just so busy on the trail, and we had goals to get to certain areas, that I just didn't stop to take photos except with my phone. Here are some from the panorama reward area after Cardiac Hill (Cadillac Hill). In the two overlook shots, to the left of center, is Pyramid Peak, in Desolation Wilderness. A Peak I happen to have climbed a couple times in my younger days.
