00:02 The worst thing you can do when you're trailing up a hill
00:05 is back off the throttle when the rig slides backwards,
00:08 a common mistake made by countless wheelers year round.
00:12 There's no turning back now, as we commit to ledge road.
00:17 The sheer drop-offs and rock shelves,
00:19 like Devil's Crack and Z-Turn, are part of the experience.
00:24 Harrowing for the timid,
00:26 a shot of adrenaline for the rest of us.

00:56 Tony Becker and his CJ and our camera support, Bronco,
00:59 driven by Dennis Hogue, bring up the rear,
01:02 as Phil spots the trail ahead.
01:05 Even though the rim is the least technical
01:08 of the Moab trails we'll drive this week,
01:10 locked differentials, plenty of suspension clearance,
01:13 and an experienced eye behind the wheel are mandatory.
01:16 Even with that, the rim heats up even the best-built rigs.
01:21 Leaving the rim from several thousand feet
01:23 above the waters of the Colorado,
01:25 we get a good taste of what it offers.
