GreenMTBrider Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 @throet can you provide me a map or description on where this is located. I’m not entirely up to speed yet on all of the feature names out on DD. I’d like to get out there this afternoon and see how this can be restored.

Barry Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Truth or Dare is the step down that is physically right next to EBD (assuming you know what EBD is!). EBD and Truth or Dare both come off or go onto the same rock slab on top of which there is generally a line of rocks showing you the trail direction. Traveling EtoW, after EBD, Truth or Dare is about 0.2 miles down-trail from EBD after to go through "The Chunk" and go up "The Wall." @3:42 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After making the long climb up to EBD and then taking the short loop through a number of features, Truth or Dare is where you can either stay left (Truth) or go right (Dare) to drop into the descent that follows. Hope this helps but happy to meet out there tomorrow. Booked in meetings the rest of the day. EDIT: Sorry for the duplication - hadn't seen that @Barry already provided the assist.

GreenMTBrider Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Okay, got it, thanks guys. I’m hoping to go over there this afternoon. Not sure I’ll be able to do any work tomorrow due to other commitments but Sunday is looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I’ll be able to do any work tomorrow due to other commitments but Sunday is looking good. Thanks. I'm really scratching my head over why somebody would go to so much trouble to move such a heavy slab of rock. It's possible that somebody sensed some slight movement when dropping onto it and decided it was a hazard, but the little bit of movement you would get on that big flat rock was really of no concern. Without it there, dropping in at that same spot at slow speed would be an instant OTB for me. Suppose you could just huck off of it at high speed but that's definitely not an option for me. I ended up finding an alternate line down a little further right, but then you're essentially coming in right where the separator rocks are lined up dividing the slab between the EBD line and the Truth-Dare line.

AntonioGG Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Is this the rock that completes the "skinny" up or down this feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that I would call it a skinny but it was like a stepping stone that led to two smaller boulders that you could continue to roll down. I've never tried going up that same line.

Yosmithy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Just saw this today, if this is what you're talking about. I stuffed some smaller rocks under it, but it definitely needs some work. Edited November 13, 2020 by Yosmithy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was moved off to the left. @throet and I had a hard time picking it up together so someone must have went to a lot of effort to move it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horncpa Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Dang that is definitely unsafe. I'd never make it through there without that rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yeah that is my line too. I have found also one to the right. Tbh I think evaluating a better line on the right and leaving a place to huck off would be nice. I have considered clearing the whole thing but the landing is soo lose I just chicken out 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I’m headed over there now to check it out. Will likely need help with this one if some of you have free time tomorrow or Sunday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 So I’m almost always trail running DD these days and apparently never pay attention to this rock. Where was it located relative to this pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was it located relative to this pic? Oooooohhhh... that's the "diving board" (as I called it) rock on dare... and that's not where it's supposed to be. It used to run perpendicular to the drop, and at one time was a little longer before the tip of it broke off a few years ago. I mean, that rock pretty much made "Dare" what it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the help. I could tell by the wear on it that it wasn’t even oriented correctly. So as others have mentioned, this things a tad on the heavy side and those of you that have met me know that this thing may weigh more than me! I’m looking for two people that can help me build up the pad where this was located and get this back in place. Anyone able to meet me at 9AM tomorrow?

Did it again sans mask after a brief tour of the Chunk, the Wall, and Tree Hugger. @GreenMTBrider I did also manage to trim back quite a bit of cedar on both sections of DD. Never made it over to Rim though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
