Before you continue

Scout it on foot, compare the main line with any signed alternate, and turn back before committing if clearance or recovery is uncertain.

What catches people

A line that works for one wheelbase may put another vehicle on its rocker, bumper, or downhill side.

Conditions change it

Water, sand, loose rock, new holes, and stacked traffic can materially change the obstacle.

Fit

Low range, recovery points, appropriate clearance, and an experienced spotter are baseline requirements.
