No need to drive this bit, it's off to the left of the main track after the steps. Last time I was there was with a mate in a 2" lifted Prado with traction control and all terrains. Other than a bit of banging underneath he drove the steps easily, just a case of taking the line that suits the vehicle.

Cheers

Rob, remember how on Airlie there were spots where the JKU had front and back wheels approaching steps at the same time? Here its the shorties with that issue, and the JKU just crawls through. Shortie ramp over helps on the optional play bits like Steve F's vid. But mostly the long wheel base is better on this one.

Ditto, auto wins over manual on these rocks.

The only reason for a tow or winch, is if someone gets off line and cross camber becomes an issue. (Says while quickly wrapping knuckles on wood.)

Its true rock crawling and perfect for Jeeps.

Ipires, SJC always suggest possible new members do a couple of trips to check us out first and then join.

I dont recommend a B grade as your first club trip though! Its what we did and cost us a couple of thousand $. Starting on a C/C+ might be advisable.

To put it in perspective, C grade is "normal" 4wd-ing, C+ grade is challenging, B Grade is advanced and damage expected (my last B Grade trip had 3 out of 13 jeeps back at the mechanics, all were modified and updated jeeps; the one before that had 1out of 5 at the mechanics), A grade is rare and close to comp truck stuff - half their fun is re-building the truck.

let us know what you think.
