21st april is good for me
if use like hitting the dunes and beach stuff two rocks isnt bad, great way to learn how to use your car through the sand/beach tracks,and some big dunes that are challanging, powerlines is mainly choosing the corect lines and bashing panels haha unless you take chicken tracks but then thats no fun, but if its your first time out i recomend hitting the sandy stuff, my opinion tho

i thought the exact same, i drove thru it on a night run about 1.5years in my GQ and it wasnt anywhere near that big. To many ppl attempting it and just spinning wheels at the base, doesnt take long to dig it out.
haha ive come down that backwards on 2 wheels after refusing to give up, glad I had told the passengers to get out.
made it on the next attempt, that was probably about 6 months ago and it would of been easy 10ft from top to bottom
