Bring your camera and post some shots of any tricky bits, I've never been and want to head up that way shortly!
As for tomorrow, sorry, overtime is calling.

No worries. The track changes dramaticly through the year. Been to the summit in my vzn130 back when it was standard on bald AT's. Other times it can be a bit of a struggle.

I'l do photos and videos tomorrow.

The main track has had a few landslides I hadnt seen before but somebody has done a great job clearing the track.
Pretty easy going at the moment which gets a bit boring so we had a bit of fun on the side tracks. Bent a rim which broke the bead so after we hammered it a bit we got to try the lighter fluid trick to set the bead which worked well.
Track got pretty messy/fun right at the top but still managed to reach the summit.

All in all not a bad day.

Lexus v8 Hilux raised with 33s and the other vehicle was a diesel rodeo raised with 32s. Nothing too serious.
