Dude, how did you not see that hole?! 🤣

Did you back out of the hole and then move driver to go on up? That looks steep.

It’s not that I didn’t see it, the hole was right in front of a climb you have to do. But the hole was super carved out from the rain season. The normal line is to put your front right tire on the right side of the climb. I went to do that and the left tire dropped down and just immediately tipped. So I had to put my driver tire on that patch of dirt on the left just to even start the climb.

Then the climb itself was huge. It’s so hard to see how tall it is but this is that climb. Every ledge was multiple feet over my head when I would walk up it was ridiculous.

Tempting but that would also mean a truck and trailer are in my future. I’d love a longer wheelbase someday though to help feel a little better on the ledges. I still have a lot of improving to do on driving before I need more Jeep though

I think this just translates to “not afraid of heights”!

Never really have been. Here’s your daily dose of pole vault videos while we are on the topic. This was a close call where I almost landed on the pole. I am very afraid of that. I had one go right through my shorts and rip them off in a meet one time. I’ll dig for that video.

Looks like you kicked it away? Is that one of the tricks of the trade?
