Hi, I’m one of the idiots who came up Thursday feel free to ask me any questions. For context I have a 4Runner with traction boards, recovery straps, snow rated tires (at3w), a pump for air, as well as chains on my rear tires. I haven’t slipped even once and manage to dig myself out of 2 feet of snow with just pressing the gas pedal. I have a full tank of gas.

TLDR: I’m not nearly prepared enough and I’m an idiot don’t worry I know.

I didn’t look at how bad the snow was because in my mind “it can’t be that bad it’s California” again idiot. I know. My family is from upstate New York I’ve been in a blizzard before so I didn’t think it would ever be that bad. Idiot.

HOWEVER, all the damn corollas with 2 wheel drive and chains on the wrong axel are driving me insane. There should be a damn vehicle check before you go up. I saw a bronco driver fail to put their chains on 3 times. That should also be a test. If you can’t put your chains on and if you don’t have a car with 4 wheel drive AND good tires AND chains you shouldn’t go up. The only cars stuck that I see (for the most part) is sedans. I’m sure there’s others (I did see a Jeep) but this sucks.

Rant over TLDR #2: I’m an idiot, but I wish idiots with less capable cars couldn’t follow me into hell.

I may delete this later I expect to be flamed.

Update: I made it this morning
