Is the Hole in the Rock trail near the Hole 'N The Rock which is on US 191 south of Moab? The Hole 'N The Rock I'm talking about is a tourist area where they take you on a tour of a house carved out of rock. I've been there.
Down is easy, traction isn't usually an issue because gravity is working for you. How many sweet videos do you see of people going down ledges and hill climbs. Thats a nice mirror hanger you got there, try going up la-de-da.
Been here, done this trail. You never get a real sense of how steep this slickrock stuff is until your own sphincter has gobbled up a wad of seat cushion. Nice work! Keep the 4x4 videos coming!
Easy,,, put the 4x4 in lowest gear and stear. The rock fase where those people are standing is 65deg, that's 45 and very easy on dry ground. You can hear them hitting the brakes, i'd have to ask why?
yeah, you could tell from all the tire tracks on the trail that hardly anybody (give or take a few hundred people) had ever driven down this hill before. wow, the "red rock 4-wheelers out of moab utah" sounds like quite a bunch of desperados. i'll bet it takes 4 out 5 beers to drive that hill all by yourself. funny thing is i drove down that chute in a '65 crown victoria about twenty years ago and didn't think it was worth talking about.
And because I did it in a Jeep Liberty, which a LOT of people said couldn't do it.. and I led 5 other Jeep Libertys on this trail also.. No rock stacking or winching the entire trail.

@deserthorizons Okay, I didn't think there was a trail at the Hole 'N The Rock home. Thanks.

@fathinking Don't mean to be rude, but it's not "cars" that go there.
And he never said that no one else had been there. The fact that this is a named TRAIL and that he give the name of it PROVES he knows that.
He said as far as he knows it was the first LIBERTY to drive that trail, not the first vehicle.

Obviously you did not read the "info" on the video..
You have to go back the way you came in.. Meaning every obstacle has to be done BOTH directions..

My guess that the actual incline is about 65 degrees. The only thing the euros have to do that is a parachute.

gaijinhan69, i don't think anybody said it was supposed to be funny. you know, youtube isn't just for "funny" videos.
i don't think you understand how skilled a driver has to be to control a vehicle down a 65 degree slope.

You must have a very good suspension etc on that VW bug because that hill is far harder and steeper than it appears.

Have you ever been here? Have you ever seen this "Chute" before?
I belong to the Red Rock 4-Wheelers out of Moab, Utah and we rate this trail a 4 out of 5 for difficulty..
This is a much steeper hill than it looks on film.
