Another idiot driver, this time in a GMC stuck at almost 14,000 feet

Thoughts? https://news.yahoo.com/2023-gmc-canyon-at4-stuck-220000665.html

 

Nonsense like this is what gets trails closed. The driver deserves whatever penalties apply.

 

I wonder if a 4Runner with crawl control or atrac could work its way out of that.

 

Makes me want a land anchor. Rock looks loose enough to bury a spare and winch your way out

 

The terrain looks similar to Mount Antero, which has a road leading up to a sometimes active aquamarine mine. Not far from that road is a whole face of unstable talus, thousands of feet high. Once upon a time, a guy led me and someone else down that face on foot, and it was horrendous nightmare. I could feel and hear millions of pounds of rock wobbling under my miniscule weight for the whole two hours to get down, promising again and again to never accept somebody else's route unless I really thought it was a good idea.

Anyway, I wonder if the driver felt rock moving.

 

Sorry, I can't pay for an airlift because I took out a 7% loan on a 50k GMC Canyon AT4 over the next 8 years. Unfortunately it isn't called a GMC Ridgeline AT4 or maybe I would have made it

 

Should probably just stick to the canyons...
