We did Twin Cones the Fall of 08? I would suggest lockers on that one hill (without going off trail). Beatiful scenery at the top. It got really cloudy and annoyingly windy when we were up there.
I just bought a new tow rope, hope that does the trick.. Between the Skids and the Lockers, you guys aint tryin to scare me off from doin this trail are ya? My jeep has been very prone to problems lately, its a very sensitive subject...
I had to use the illegal path to get up the steep and very loose hill climb to winch Tokyojoe up and JL we had him virtually almost off the trail to get him up.What those 2 rocks on that climb,just barely enough room to sneak a KJ through,it ripped USAFCOP's valve stem off.I saidly never got to climb it due to having to go up the illegal side to winch up a fellow KJ'er without lockers.
For 90% of this trail a stock KJ can do but that one hill climb is a fun one without lockers,it may have changed since we last run it but I doubt it or it has gotten harder.
Have fun,sadly I can not go,still rocking 2wd but by next week the the fun begins
.
So, if I make it, yall owe me a beer??
Sure,you must take the far right path up the steep hill climb(you'll know it when you get to it) and not one of the other 2 far left trails(illegal trails) and go up the center
,pics are required
.
Hopefully it is in better condition it was last time,don't count on it though.A person with a winch should be on this trip(JL has one) and should go 1st.

The "big hill" is very loose, with small to large rocks in it that you must work your way through. Good tires will help you here, and if it's wet this hill can be quite impossible to climb. Please note that as you are standing at the base of the hill there is only one approved way up it -- the rockiest section to the right. Do not use the smooth spurs to the left of this hill as they are not approved.
Stay the trail and pick any trash you see and leave no trash,help keep the trails here in CO open and not be part of the problem that is getting them closed.
