Fairfield, UT - Constrictor

Constrictor 4x4 Trail
Difficulty: 5/5
Location: Trail starts at the end of Rattlesnake after the Wayne's World obstacle.
Distance: 0.5 mile one way
Description: Continuing up the same canyon as Rattlesnake, you hit Wayne's World, then a little ways up the trail you will see the Constrictor trailhead sign. A lot of rock gardens from there on and of course the big obstacle: Eagle's Nest right near the end. Winching is required at the Eagle's Nest (unless you are prepared for extremely possible rollover damage). A winch anchor point is located at the top of the Eagle's Nest. Proceed at your own risk.

The last big rock garden in Constrictor, just a little bit before Radiator Rapids, with the bypass up and to the right - does it have a name?

Bump - anybody know? And which is the original trail, the gulley with the rocks or the beaten path up and to the right?

 

[jinxspot]

it’s called Wolverine... there isn't supposed to be a bypass on the right .

You should start the obstacle from the wash before it not the dirt road. Attempting to surmount the rock wall straight at the end of the obstacle is the most desired line, but most who don't make it veer a bit right at the end of the obstacle as they slide off and make it thru tipping a bit to the right. The road that emerged to the right effectively bypassing the obstacle was never originally there and should not be used if you can help it.

Start here see the yota entering the obstacle behind me:

continue forward on a slight angled rock wall and boulders

continue on the off camber section

attempt the rock wall at the end of the obstacle

haha, i took some video of me in that thinking it would be way cool. the video sucked, you cant even tell how steep of an angle it is. pics and video never do it justice.
