It is amazing how sometimes the littlest push or pull can make a difference between climbing an obstacle or not.  Mark is still at a stock 80" wheelbase so the first waterfall is a pretty challenging climb.  When I came back down the trail to lend a hand he had already sat his Zuk nearly vertical a few times!

The last time through we had pulled all teh rocks out of teh top of teh chute and it seemed harder, the narrower tires could have been another factor as well.  It took a couple tries for me to find teh line with Mark Mason's guidance.
