The story as it was told to me is that they had to winch three times to get to the area that you see. They broke three half shafts getting to there. The sheer pin, or what ever it is called, that holds the transmission in park sheered off while they were winching through another spot and the H1 rolled backwards and turned over against a tree.

I believe they burned up the four winches trying to get that truck and the rest of them out that night. They also broke a caliper on another truck and had to leave it on the mountain until the next day. They got back at 4:00am in the morning after leaving the other truck.

I wasn't in the group that was running 23 but Det is right in that it is an extreme trail. They ran it last year with similar carnage, less the roll over. This group is the extreme group and most of them have been running these trails for 5 or six years and they can take a H1 about any where it can go.
