Yep that rock garden is still there.
Never made it all the way up the switchbacks, came close, restarted after a spin out.
Context, plz...
senior management said we need this but didnt elaborate why..
pPesqueeb
I don't think pPesqueeb works on Boats. Unless he also gets blamed boat mishaps and not just aviation mishaps. I am OK with that. I wasn't informed of the new Protocol....
And fecal choliform.The warehouse bathrooms at my job are rich with culture
"How long have you worked here, not including tomorrow?"
It was in the weekly courtesy phone meeting, were you not paying attention?
Oh.........That's right. Never mind.
You know you've gone too far, when you have to be carried out of the bong shed.
The rocks in this gully oppose each other in a gentle arc to form this circ. Nobody can explain why as Glaciation didn't occur this far south as far as anyone knows.

Shortly after 2 p.m., the driver of a black BMW was going southbound on I-280 when the metal beam fell off of the back of a nearby truck and went through the windshield, said Cpt. Christopher Salcido, a San Jose Fire spokesman.
The driver pulled over to the right of the road, and escaped with only a slight scratch.
“Had the person been a little more to the right, it would have impaled him,” Salcido said. “It looks like he not so much dodged a bullet, but dodged a large beam of metal.”

there's your problem
You know what the difference between a BMW and a porcupine is?

The pricks on the porcupine are on the outside...

///Metal.
Just going to hazard a guess here, but on the limited photo, looks like foliation runs parallel to the "cirque" depression, making this a small syncline...
The rocks in this gully oppose each other in a gentle arc to form this circ. Nobody can explain why as Glaciation didn't occur this far south as far as anyone knows.
If you expand the pic and look to the left you can see a suspension bridge that spans a canyon. The banded layers of granite and pylite are exposed on both sides of the circ and not because of erosion or rebound as would be the case in the Appalachins to the north. Thrusting would explain one side of the lift and the foliation that may result. But that wouldn't likely occur in such close proximity to the exposed rocks closest to the canyon. Granite and Basalt generally doesn't fold in such symmetry at or near the exposed surface. The Blue Ridge Thrust belt is 150 miles to the North West. The canyon was formed by erosion from a exposed fault.
The arc of exposed rocks are opposing each other upward not downward as represented here. Grandfather Mountain NC for reference.
No choiceYou rode the short monster on regular trails?
Other bike doesn't have working brakes. Its not that bad, hike and coast to the top and then fly down.Though, I do think you can go much faster on a normal trail bike. It was a little unnerving at times flying down the single track with those wide bars...
Toughen up buttercup and get those 780-800s on your trail bike!Though, I do think you can go much faster on a normal trail bike. It was a little unnerving at times flying down the single track with those wide bars...
I like keeping my knuckles and hands in one piece though. I have enough close calls with the smaller bars on the trail bike.Toughen up buttercup and get those 780-800s on your trail bike!
Just to keep this on topic:
