One of the toughest obstacles.  First you need to climb this steep waterfall.

Then when you get over the waterfall you need to make this sharp turn.  You get to a point of no return if you let your rear tires drop off the wall, at that point you will have to winch your front end around to clear the overhang shown in the second picture.

I tried the falls a couple times but needed a little ballast on the front end via a strap to climb it.

The first picture shows the point of no return, I can't back up anymore and I believe I started to bend the drivers side rear main leaf by pushing into the wall.  I also ended up winching my front end around.

Even with a 100" wheelbase, this waterfall is fun.

Brian tried the high line, basically keep your tire above the overhang so you don't have to make the sharp turn.   I am not sure a rig with leafs in the rear can pull this off.
