After the flats, the goal is to get to "Tobogan," which is a steep, slick, mudslide on one side, with a granite wall on the other. To the west of it is a small slot canyon that has a steep "driveway" down. Once through the canyon, there is a steep hill with big ruts carved in soft, powdery dirt. Almost everyone had made it through, but the stock YJ was inhibited by its frozen-on sway bars. Despite Scott's best spotting, The YJ had to be strapped up the hill.
As time had taken it's toll and there was a long drive home, everyone decided to turn around and head back. On the way out, Scott decided to skip the driveway and take a nearly-vertical incline. About 1/4 of the way up, gravity pulled him back and he landed on his spare, with all five tires touching the ground in some way or another! Anders broke out a strap and up he came.
