Went to Brimstone and rode most all of the red trails including 75y with the exception of the last steep to the top. Some riders at the top saying they climbed it on a Rhino, but when questioned, admitted it was about 6 years ago. Did a search and could not find video of anybody going to the top. I don't think anybody in their right mind would attempt it in the condition it is in now. Has anybody rode it to the top?

There must be a new way around the top. Because the last time I saw it a Rhino would not make it up...... No way no how! Not knocking Rhinos. There are not many places I say a Rhino can't make. As a matter of fact, this might be the only hill I say that about.

It is baaaddd. There are about 6 different paths but all have big ruts. Walked up it and did not see any way around it. There was 5 of us, including a XP and no one even tried it. There was a group on top, of about 6 machines including a Cam Am and they wanted nothing to do with it.

SAC really has nothing to do with it. Dodd will climb anything , I don't think the amount of SAC he has has ever been in Question. And he lost a very nice RZR on that hill. That hill has become one of those you need to call the insurance company before you try it. cause 99 % of the time , your going to need them after it is over....

Winching is not making it. That is my point. Bush is one hell of a driver and his regular RZR could not make it. The ruts where to big.

That is true. he made it look like childs play. but that was 2 years ago. From my understanding. it is way worse now than it was back then....

well i didn't mean sac had anything to do with making it up the hill... sac is about if you will hit it or not.. as of now none of us ever has had sac enough to hit it... we've wanted to and all have insurance, but insureance doesn't cover your life... i lost a very close friend in harlan over the summer and needless to say we all have lost alot of our SAC... just isn't worth it... maybe one of these days i'll see the top of it...
