Toughest Obstacle on Pinyon Mountain Road: Anza-Borrego

I came across this random video of some guy trying to climb the last, perhaps toughest part of Pinyon Mountain Road. ;)

Nothing beats taking the right line... :D Of course a locker is nice to have. That one time you got some air made me hold my breath.

How funny. John asked us if we remembered this part of the trail when we were out there, and neither of us could. But looking at these videos, NOW we remember it! We don't have pics or video, but we pretty much got through it without incident. Articulation counts & lockers rock. d
