Smasher Canyon AZ_1/24

Heard alot about this trail but never ran it before, met up with some locals, BOVADS and the High Country Renegades to run this trail, there are 3 sections to this trail and we only got to finish the first section cos we got stuck behind a Geep that broke both rear axles on the 2nd to last obstacle of the lower section;

We got to the trailhead and there was a huge watefall down stream and this hill just callin my name;

Eventually came to the normal line;

We had to exit the wash a few times for big waterfalls that were massively undercut all 10' tall or more;

Because of this;

Symon623 · Jan 25, 2009

We caught up to the broken Geep here and ate lunch;

We waited and helped for a couple of hours and decided to try to go around the Geep, he had issues with us trying to go over so we went around;

TC's turn;

I think TC really wanted to go over the broken rig

;

He eventually took the bypass;

Symon623 · Jan 25, 2009

While TC was comin up I was tryin the last obsatcle that got real tight;

Got just a little carnage;

And Katvans;

Symon623 · Jan 25, 2009

BOVADS in the tight spot;

TC savin the door;

tryin to save the corner;

Symon623 · Jan 25, 2009

But couldn't do it;

Symon623 · Jan 25, 2009

The carnage;

Symon623 · Jan 25, 2009

TC and Blkruby opted around the tight spot but Katvans was in;

We hooked up the winch;

All he got was some AZ pin stripes out of it;
