No, 35's are minimum requirement. I'd rather people be equally or more capable than our current group than less capable. If we are trying to do more than just Dusy, then we will need rigs that can complete this trail without too much struggle. Sure the trail can be done with 33's but why struggle when we can hit up another trail(s) after.
Also, I was 25 last year on our trip so I guess I just barely made the cut off. Mariah wasn't though so thankfully these requirements weren't in place last year...
The rest I agree with.
