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.
