This was less than 1/2 way up it, after that it gets worse.

Last year, when it was bone dry. Patrick didn't even want to ride up it.

This is a good one of Cream puff. It's the third climb by Jimmy. He says too scary then hits it.

The vids don't do it justice, it is probably one of the scariest looking hill climbs I have seen. There are some BIG rocks littered along the way also.

had I known I woulda had a buggy roll down cream puff right where I was standing I coulda gotten a better angle than running from it laughing1 That climb is wicked.
I didn't get a chance to run it again. I broke a ring and pinion doing a front dig in the mud near lion's den. :
I think it might have been damaged already, I've heard it pop before but I've always tried to convince myself that it was just the lockrite. I drove back on the broken R&P for hours and ran the lower rock garden. I told myself, "I'm just going to look at cream puff" so I drove up with a broken front R&P. Then I thought, "Hmm, I'll just go a little higher" and kept going. I was about 2/3 up the big rock face before I lost traction. I'm just sure I can make it. I noticed all day that Harlan has pretty good traction in the rain. All the rocks were clean and you could get a little grip. The next day the traction was worse because everything was muddy but equivalent obstacles still seem easier than gray rock.
Overall it was a good trip even though the weather was pretty yucky. Harlan is just a lot of fun.

No, it's a low pinion. I'm not sure what my problem is but this is the third R&P that I've broken. This is the pattern on the drive side (well, coast running backwards).GStone said:

It was a US gear R&P. I'm going to go with precision this time and I'm going to make sure the carrier bearing preload is tight enough. (I might need a new carrier) I don't know what to say, my friends seem to beat on their axles a lot harder than I do without any problems at all. 
When are you guys heading back to Harlan next? Wanna get back and ride there in the spring
Is that the Southern Shine and Crawl thing?
Where are you guys staying that weekend? I imagine it will be packed up there....
