    What trail are these two? Almost looks like Hell's Gate or Escalator like the one's around it but not quite.

    We saw 3 rigs do it and I would have done it too, but I didn't have sliders so I couldn't get down into the bottom without fucking up my rocker panels.

    We had some good spotters and it made it looks pretty easy.

    Look like it wants to smash your door pretty bad. When I ran HR, I didn't even see the Gate or the escalator:( next time.

    Well of course that is harder. haha. Not sure if I would try escalator or not. Watched Jace (lotsoftoys) do it last year and he managed to get up it. Watched the crawler drag his side up most of it though. That is what I worry about...

    I definitly want to check out Hell's Gate. I really want to do it as well. I've seen a few videos of people going up it with no lockers, but very few. Having a good spotter is a must for me though. I'm going to pass on the escalator though.

    Hell's gate seems pretty stable enough to keep traction with out a locker, it's just a matter of finding a line that isn't going to tip you over.

    Escalator might be a bit of a challenge with your wheel base. Hell mine is probably still too long... haha

    You're wheelbase is shorter than mine though. haha Lotoftoys did it with about that same setup but drug his rear bumper up it quite a bit.
