I was up Monday taking a friend wheelin (his first time) and we made a clean run up the ledge. I noticed the hole at the base had some rip rap in it and we bumped up and over with ease.

Saturday I was back for more and noticed the base of the ledge was void of any rock and it looked like it was all strewn out in front.

My question is - is that being removed on purpose or are people digging it out trying to get up the ledge by spinning tires?

We were spent Saturday or I would have thrown some rocks back into the hole. 6 inches of rock in the hole Monday made all the difference for my rig (that was my first "clean" run). Is anyone going to shoot me if i throw some rocks in the hole next time?
 
Alot of people "pave" that spot to help out, spinning does toss the rocks out and usually down the mountain. We filled it in pretty good in the spring but alas it doesn't last very long. As was said before feel free to toss the hole chock full!!
 
Was there last night and the ledge was bare. When it's dry, the ground is hard there so any piled up rocks are easily spun out especially by throttle jockies.
 
Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way but isn't the whole point to go up it without stacking rocks or filling it with rip wrap. I can understand modifying it for run off but why modify it to make it easier?
 
The rule is if you need to stack rocks to make it up an obstacle , then you remove them after passing.
 
Which is better trail etiquette - stacking a few rocks (that were there before anyway) and making a clean run or spending 30 minutes spinning like mad and throwing rocks everywhere?

And, at some point, this was done earlier this year which I assume means the powers that be wanted it that way -

I wheel my DD, so I hesitate when it comes to potential damage, but I still want to climb that hill. If that's being a lame ass, I guess I'm a lame ass.

According to Tread Lightly!, or at least Scott Fields @UORTC, you try 3 times and then you pull cable.

or go around, if there's one thing I can't stand, is when some yahoo just cant get that he/she isn't going to make it up or over an obstacle. ...... Puff, Puff, Give..... Quit f@*kin up the rotation....

Don't know the hole you're referring to, but real trail etiquette dictates that whenever you stack rocks like a lameass, you unstack them. Obviously this never happens.
