Headshot Posted June 11, 2014 Share There is a large boulder that has come loose and blocked Cobra just as it starts to descend after the pedally bits up top. Easy to avoid but you will have to portage round it unless you feel like risking a cliff plunge. I have notified the trail manager via email.

I have to ask, Tim - was there a face-brake technique deployment? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 11, 2014 Share BTW - thanks for the heads up. Was going to go this weekend if the flu / cold / whatever cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokaiMTB Posted June 11, 2014 Share Thanks for the warning Headshot-we'll get to clearing it ASAP. Can you tell us how big it is? ie estimate on how many people needed to remove it from the trail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted June 11, 2014 Share Thanks for the warning Headshot-we'll get to clearing it ASAP. Can you tell us how big it is? ie estimate on how many people needed to remove it from the trail? Hard to say - I'd guess at least 3 to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted June 11, 2014 Share I have to ask, Tim - was there a face-brake technique deployment? ;-) Nope, but I think it was the rock I clipped and almost chopped my pinky off on a few weeks ago. That probably loosened it :-) Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Dan Dob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dob Posted June 12, 2014 Share Here's the offending rock. Actually looks like it make a pretty rad new trail feature if TokaiMTB can build it up a bit? Edited June 12, 2014 by iRide TAAHIRWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 12, 2014 Share LOL. Dan, that's exactly what Deon said on Facebroek... SO please, don't move it, anyone! Sweet feature coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted June 12, 2014 Share Very difficult moving rocks that size into the trail when you want them there. The mountain gave us a little fathers day gift. (Even if I might need a chicken run around.) (Deon) and Dan Dob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted June 13, 2014 Share rocks that size dont move themselves. is the upslope unstable since the rains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre Posted June 13, 2014 Share This area has been worked on, ready for the weekend... No pictures, blind is the new black. Was thinking of lying on the couch and drinking beer but now I'll have to go check it out myself. (Deon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
