Twin Cone Peak CO, how hard?

[DuManchu]

I have Twin Cone Peak listed as one of the trails I'd like to run. I added it to my list on the 5 rating alone. I've been looking at pictures, and it doesn't look like my mostly stock 80 would be well-suited to run this trail.

A lot of the pics I've seen show rocks in excess of 16" (my estimate) and it would seem that sliders would be almost mandatory for an 80 traveling over rocks that size. Especially an 80 that has no lift.

What do all you Colorado wheelers think (or anyone who has run that trial), cool to run a locked 80 with 33's and nothing else, or stay away?

Thanks,
-Andrew

Andrew, I dont think you will have any problem... We(Rising Sun) ran that trail a few years ago after the club picinic. There are a few rocky sections, but most have a way around. The steep climb near the top is a bit tough, but again has a way around. I now Matt Farr made it all the way to the top in his locked but stock 80. I was able to make it all the way to the top unlocked without much effort. Let us know when you come out. I'm sure one or two will be happy to join you .
