Mt Disappointment - reverse loop MEDIUM

Mt Disa, VIC
See more trips

I have an awesome circuit of Mt Disappointment.... that we'll be doing in reverse this time. There is rock crawling up a creek, large ruts, steep hills, the occasional bog hole, lots of rocks and the trip generally ends with The Bump. There are plenty of challenges but nothing too hair raising. The day usually ends around 3pm.

 

Minimum requirements are 32" AT tyres, 2" lift, winch and recovery gear. Lockers or decent traction control advised.

32s up the Bump/Ladder would be interesting given the state it was in last time I drove it. Had a hairy moment on 35s with 3" of lift

I agree with Winston, I was there a month ago and it's very chewed up and massive drops. Even with 35's it's mental.

I do. I know the tracks off by heart, not name, so you'll have to just enjoy the ride. :)

Most definitely!
Jason, you did a great job leading the trip, thank you.

Great meeting you all and it was good to see the group band together when help was needed.

Look forward to the next trip...although I'll need a new rear bar due to one of the hits snapping a mount :(

I can just second everyone. Thanks a lot Jason, for show us Mount Disappointment at it's best. Not sure if I can come along for the winter tour. Not only do I have no A/C at the moment, but I do not have a heater either :). Definitely will look out if you for your next tour though. And in the end I can wear a nice winter jacket.
