Back to the OP, I spotted an inexperienced driver with a Rubicon on 37s (who in fairness only started the Telluride side after seeing me go down first) through the rocky switchback and he tended to put his pax tires too far right. It is intuitive but wrong. Reminds me of Elephant Hill's squeeze where people go right to avoid hitting on the left. And that's exactly why they hit on the left: because the rock on the right lifts them and tilts them the wrong way. Same here: the rock wall on the right lifts and tilts the vehicle the wrong way.

I found the switchback fun but I hated this spot though I never lifted a wheel unlike this stock one here: Stock 4Runner on Black Bear Pass - YouTube For those who have not been there, the spot is worse than it looks though it would have been a non-event on a wider trail.

I think Black Bear is one of those trails where compromised wheel travel is a particularly bad idea.
exactly. I remember when I first did that trail, I really wanted to hug right but I was like...those rocks are going to cause me to tilt into the wall. I ended up hugging left with no issues but the car behind me didn't and broke the driver side cargo area window.

They are used to these kind of recoveries up there. Here is an fj back on the trail not quiet to the steps yet.
