Post by: zachbiz on June 26, 2011, 08:56:38 PM
So Lee, some of his friends, Jeff, a few of my friends and I headed out just past alpine (Japatul Area) to check out the Pancake Rock trail.

Here are the photos:

This was when we heard on the radio, "Oh $H!*, I need a spot"

Slipped off the wall and whacked his door and snorkel against the face. Didnt come out too bad either.

I thought I was going to roll it coming down from that.  It's a pretty difficult trail for sure.  Lee thinks it's stock friendly, but he thinks everything is stock friendly.

There aren't any photos of it but I found out coming down Pancake rock Zach and I made it through the gate keeper.

I definitely put my skids and sliders to work on this trail.

HAHA!
It's rubbing off on him.
When all the cleghorn off shoots were open, I took a few runs up there and I had some first timers that were keeping up just fine but everyone was questioning my trail rating system..  :cover:

YOU GUYS ARE ALL CRAZY! my trail rating syste, is just fine. im telling you right now i could drive a stock X up that trail! I DID! haha so you scrape and bump a little,... get a little skinny here and there,...thats the point! haha   No, really, though, its a fun short trail. id love to explore a little more sometime.  its definitely a good san diego spot.
