After leaving Meryla SF and lockedup, Declan and I went in search for the Jellore SF powerline climb.
Bingo!
The below photo mightn't look like much, but I assure you it requires a monstor patrol ;-) or comp trucks...

There are chicken tracks but they go off into the bush and are very soft, so we tackled most of the climb, only skipping the one very nasty section.

We can't really compare apples will apples because glen's tyres are that much better in the rough stuff than mine.Front and Rear ARB Air Lockers - Maxxis Bighorn 32inch M/Ts - Black 16x8 Sunrasias - Bilstein shocks - Lovells springs - Duel batteries - Ironman winch bar - Safari snorkel - Turbo timer - Boost guage - 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust - DP chip - Diff breathers - Custom Drawers - Towbar - Cargo barrier - HID spotties - Roof cage - Rear floodlight - Arb compressor - Garmin 1490T with Topos - 12000 Winch - Ozito chainsaw blah blah blah
