Surprise Cyn Feb 2001

On the Sherman run, a couple of us started talking about surprise cyn. So, when I came home I dug back in my archives and pulled out this old video!

Wonder if some of the rigs/ buggys could make this without winching? The wet tires would be the issue I think...

I agree. Wet tires are wet tires, unless you had some specially compounded for grip on wet rocks.

Definitely something fun to think about. When we were able to drive one of those waterfalls it was slowly crawling it, so it would be fun to see what the larger sticky tires would do. If we had to use a little wheel spin we at least have parts that could handle it. Sure would be fun to try. I'd bet we could climb the whole thing, there would be a line somewhere, and you could move around and get one side out of the water.
