Trouble

Trouble is a short but severe connector linking GOAT to the top of Screen Door, carved into a tight cedar canopy with several obstacles that require full commitment and zero hesitation. The trail presents several back-to-back limestone waterfalls and shelves, many of which are polished and undercut, with deep ruts and off-camber leans that tip rigs towards the trees. Several climbs run 10+ feet long with 20-30″ steps, and narrow corridors that make body damage from trunks and branches a common occurrence. When wet, the clay over limestone turns slick and greatly increases the risk to driveline and sheet metal. Expect slow, technical progress with tactical line selection and frequent spotting and winching.

This trail is for built rigs only. Minimum recommendations are 37s, dual lockers, a winch, stout skids, and recovery gear. Hardtops are not recommended due to the likelihood of contacting trees. Different lines can be selected at each obstacle, but there are no bypasses and limited places to turn around. If you commit to Trouble, plan on challenging obstacles and a high likelihood of body or mechanical damage, even in dry conditions.
