Runs?

[souske]

I have never been to Calico before. Anyone with knowledge of the area wanna chime in on suitable Easy, medium, and hard runs. As well as rig requirements for each?

I've o ly been there once so I'm sure I'm no help

Traditional stuff:

Easy - Mule Canyon, goes up to mining areas.
Moderate 1 - Odessa Canyon, also goes to mining areas. Pretty easy if you can follow a spotter or know the road. Traction aids will help.
Moderate 2 - Upper Doran bypassing gatekeeper (pending if bypass is open, it was close da few years ago ago and I'm not sure if open. 31s and traction aid would be nice here.
Hard - Lower Doran, gatekeeper. You could do it with lockers and 33s back in 2004, not sure today.

Also Richard knows of a lot of hard trails up there in addition to the traditional stuff, I have no experiance here other than if Richard is suggesting them they'll likely be quite technical.

Johnny walked it on 33's a couple years ago with not a single reverse. I was spotting though

Front locker w/ LS on 33's ok? Or rear locker needed?

You should be fine, you can stack if needed.

NO! Lockers are kind of mandatory on that obstacle.
