Yeah that's crazy. I'm wondering more along the lines of that Jeep tour group taking out a novice and someone panics right at the beginning and just rolls it down the side? Those tour guides are pretty brave/trusting!Lions backhttps://youtu.be/fpbkTncjEOs
You beat me to it. I was going to look up that video and post it. Although, I think there is a longer one somewhere else.Lions backhttps://youtu.be/fpbkTncjEOs
So, when doing this trail are there ways to go around some of the more difficult places you might want to skip?The majority Hell’s Revenge trial is super fun, no biggie for an semi seasoned driver with a lifted / armored vehicle on 34’s / 35’s. Hells Gate (the big notch climb) is legit, I strongly recommend having spotter that is familiar with the trail. You can’t see anything but your spotter. The notch on the Gate is pretty deceiving, stay way way way passenger or you will slip down into the notch and things will get spicy real quick. Trust me. ?. I’ve been up it once in my Tacoma, drifted too far driver and slipped into the notch and got pretty twisted up. I was so close to flopping my passenger side mirror (pulled in) touched the rock. With the help of a good spotter I was able to self recover and eventually drive it out to the top, but man was my adrenaline charging! It was a good day. That said I have buddies that have driven up Hell’s Gate so many times they know the exact line and just march right up it no problem. But man, that first time is legit so be prepared. Blows my mind that inexperienced people rent jeeps and drive up that. ?
The Escalator (another feature on Hell’s Revenge) is even more advanced IMPO. It makes the videos of the Bronco going through it (forward and backwards which is insane) seriously impressive. Heads up there are bypasses so both Hell’s Gate & the Escalator On Hell’s revenge are optional.
I can’t stress enough that the Bronco’s Moab videos are impressive and showcase the vehicle’s capabilities well, but the hidden star was their pro spotter.
Stoked for the Bronco next summer!
PEACE.
Yes, Hell’s Gate, the Escalator and all of the Hot tubs are optional on Hell’s Revenge. It’s not like they’re super clearly marked but it’s manageable, I’d recommend going with a friend who knows the trail.So, when doing this trail are there ways to go around some of the more difficult places you might want to skip?
