Took a ride up mount rosa this morning. Let me know if anyone ever wants to hit Rosa or baldy.
I’m still new so taking it easy. I see china wall is rated difficult on trailsoffroad, would I be ok in a stock jlur?
China Wall:
Technical Rating: 5-5
(DIFFICULT )
Rocky or undulated road surface. Potential rocks and/or tree stumps less than 24" tall and/or vertical ledges less than 24" tall and/or near vertical ledges or waterfalls less than 54" inches. Tire placement becomes more difficult. Can be steep and off-camber.
Description
The trail is dirt and rock all the way through with some obstacles along the way. Some of the obstacles that are not bypassable and they are noted in this writeup. The rocky inclines and descents are the largest reason for this trail’s rating. If you don’t go slow and follow the right lines, you will hit bottom on this one. This trail gets very little snow in the winter and as such means it will be one of the first seasonal closures to open in the spring if the winter allows.
I did Chinaman Gulch in my stock JLUR last December. Scraped and crawled my way through, bypassed some stuff, but made it with a tiny bit of "trail damage" You can hardly tell.
Technical Rating: 6-8
(DIFFICULT - SEVERE)
Rocky or undulated road surface. Rocks less than 84" tall and/or vertical ledges less than 72" tall and/or near vertical ledges or waterfalls less than 14' foot. Tire placement not good. Can be steep and off-camber.
