im not to concerned about coming down it since i could just hit the gas if
it started to go over (only like 60 feet to the bottom). going up it is
where the challenge is at. i could hit it with speed and let momentum carry
me to the top but that proves nothing.

attempt to climb it without momentum. with the cage on the rhino though i
wasnt scared at all even if it rolled and i figured it would be a great way
to test its limitations. although the respect points from the ATVers was
nice thats not why i ride. i _think_ my rubicon can climb it but.....

I suggest you hold a beer in one hand and yell out "WATCH THIS!" you might
just make it then.
