If you are refferring to Chas Wheeler's Moab Trails book, it's not quite as
bad as he describes it. I tried to convey the relationship between the
obstacle and the cliff edge in the photos. The obstacle is about 4 ft. high,
but is not off camber towards the edge, so if you managed to roll, it's
highly unlikely you'd go off the edge.
That being said, it's a major ledge that requires good spotting. I would not
do it alone, in fact like most Moab trails, it's not adviseable to be out
there on your own.
I don't have any experience with Moab Rim. (MAybe next year.) The Red Rock 4
Wheelers rate it 4+. They're always consistent in their ratings.

Re: Moab 2004
No help here. This was to be my first time on Cliffhanger and it looks like
my plans for thursday are falling through. Probably gonna head out Saturday
and run Poison Spider and a few easier trails with those guys. Darn work
always getting in the way of my fun.

Thanks. All I used was a little Nikon 5400 digital, with a Nikon accessory
polarizer. Tim used a smaller Olympus digital, not sure what the model is.
I've switched completely to digital over the last two years. I used the
little 5400 so I wouldn't have to wrestle my D1x while trying to drive. I
could keep it in a littl bag right behind the console and could grab it
quickly, shoot & stuff it back in the bag. The files were 1mb JPEGS, didn't
need much tweaking but when necessary I processed them in Photoshop. I
think the Moab Action Shots files are scans from Fuji Velvia, not sure, but
they were done on film.
