Mile 5.0
Original exit ledges
The original exit crosses eroded rock ledges and a sandy hill before the fence and return road.
Before you continue
Do not treat the final mile as a cooldown. Walk changed ledges and keep enough spacing to avoid stopping on the sand hill.
What catches people
Drivers relax near the finish, while erosion changes breakover angles and the sand can stop momentum.
Conditions change it
Recent storms deepen ledges and move sand onto the climb.
Fit
Main-route clearance, low range, and controlled ledge placement through the exit.
