Anza-B: where's the Squeeze? Climbing up Heat Attack Hill?

[sdnative]

Theres actually quite a distance between the squeeze and the dropoff. Certainly enough to turn around. I would guess at least 100 yards? Please correct me if Im wrong.

While I haven't actually been in a vehicle between those two obstables, I did park at the squeeze and walked for a bit hoping to see the dropoff. I walked for a good distance and ended up turning around. Likewise, on the east side, I walked up the dropoff and there seemed to a good amount of room at the top.

On another note, they actually poured concrete on part of the dropoff to help with errosion, for what its worth.

I would say 100 yards sounds about right. Not super easy, maybe a 3 point turn, but yes you can turn around.
I've done it once. At that point you mine as well park at the bottom of Heart Attack hill and walk up and check it out.

Pics from another site..

the squeeze

After the squeeze... it kind of turns and there's a bit more rock ledge

Then you arrive at Heat Attack - Right side in view (mostly rock)
Left side is very badly dug out and you'll pull a wheel for sure.
It's mostly a mind game, 33's and lockers will take you up no problem.

interesting pics.
Probably misleading, but that last pic makes it look like it's pretty smooth actually.
How steep is it?

The thing about slopes for me, is that I am way more comfortable going up than down... I guess cuz there is no visual impact of "falling off or accelerating out of control" as in very steep down. Silly cuz at least going down you see where you're going, whereas if you slide off backwards, that's worse...

Its way worse than it looks in that picture. Here's the left side.

Watch this rover pull a wheelie..... i did the same thing and you have to ride it out.
