top 5 dangerouse mountains in usa vote

Cant believe no one has mentioned cabbage yet. By the way it was the truckers that gave it that name, actually the blue mountains

 

Monarch is more of a pain going WB because of all the curves on the downhill, EB isn't so bad.

with or without chains and a sherpa?

I've only smoked my brakes once on Vail, and it was caused by a brake that was out of adjustment and made me almost loose all of them. Finally got it stopped 150 yds from the exit for the last truck ramp, thought for sure I was going to use it. Have never had that happen since I've run both of them probably 100 times. Now it's usually a few puffs of smoke and even then it's usually that I'm doing it intentionally.

All these people complaining about Elk or Sherman on I-80 in Wyo., not sure what is tough about either one? Elk is a walk in the park, Sherman can be a blast goign WB, I've dropped off their at 75K in 10th with my jakes on and never touched the throttle or the brakes and jsut let it run, when I get to the last curve I hit the cruise and let it slow til the cruise kicks on. One that get's no mention anywhere, but can be fun is a little 6% grade on I-25 between MM 72 and 76 in So. Colorado, just So. of Colorado City. It's a bear of hill going SB, and NB. the curve at the bottom is misleading, it looks gentler than it is. I've seen a few trucks loose it, limit is 75 and doesn't drop on that stretch.

 

Cabbage can be mean, but try whitebird pass as well as lewiston grade both in northern idaho, i would gladly run cabbage anyday than those 2. as for the previous posters that mentioned the pass east of laramie wyoming, thats sherman hill, its ok when its dry a pain when its slick.

 

I mentioned Cabbage...I rode a runaway down Cabbage. Scariest experience I have had to date, in or out of the truck. And that includes being shot at.

 

It's been mentioned several times.

 

lewiston grade is real bad switch backs all the way down.

 

thatv was called the boston mountain it was between bentonville an alma.

 

What is the name of the hill on I-26 (US 23) between Ashville, NC and Kingsport/Bristol, TN? I ran it one time in a truck with no jakes, as in, not equipped with jakes. On top of it I got to get off the big road and even off US 11 and pick up 23 tons of casting sand in some little gorge near Green Mountain, NC. And then head back north. Wasn't fun I will say that. But good training.

I also ran I-17 recently in an International Prostar that had very weak jakes. Got the brakes cooking a bit, keeps the yuppie tourists scared outta their mind when they start seeing that smoke.

 

Monteagle is a joke, I've ran that without jakes before. Unless of course you are an idiot.

There's even some nasty little hills on the state roads in Southeast MN, Northeast Iowa, NW Illinois, and SW Wisconsin that catch people off guard. And there are even a few that have runaway ramps, In Iowa and Wisconsin of all places. They're not long of course, just steep, sudden and nasty little buggers.

 

highway 92 from hotchkiss to sapinero CO in the winter with 48k of used cutter heads on.... the good old boy from the mine said it was a shortcut even with chains on couldnt make it up.......its a long story.. thats why my kids call me the YETI and I have a Yeti on the side of my truck...the rest of these that have been mentioned....are....scenic, never been down 129 looks like fun! However that stretch in western CO was a white knuckled tail puckering situation in the moonlight #-15 below with the moon shimmering off the lake several thousand feet below..........................
