I was looking at this and thinking , I bet you could ride your Skorpa up that waterfall! :D
View attachment 143127
...except it in "no vehicles of any kind" area, and water in front of waterfall is deep there, sea peeps jumping in ocean....
...but trials bikes competition and practice sections involve lots climbing waterfalls if available, so i saw it as a climb too!!!
