Moab '10 with the High Country Renegades: Day 6; Pritchett Canyon
#1
We saved the best for last, although that could be rhetorical statement.......... as only 4 of us showed up to run it. I understand it was a long week for some and others had to drive their Jeeps home while others had to already leave to get wherever they needed to be.

We caught a group at Chewy, the nasty, slippery, off camber climb that quickly reminds you of what your in for for the day;



We all gave it our tries with success, (videos coming), except Sedona Rick who took a few tries to break a rear CV in his driveshaft...... he had a spare so he swapped it out and took the cable to get up and we were on our way again. Ricks Jeep just likes to get to hoppin and then things get ugly.......
