I finally experienced it first hand. Yes, it’s a doozy! But I’m an old guy, and I made it without incident with my bike - not “on” my bike.
Today was dry, and may have been for a few days, so negotiating the chaotic surface was easily possible with care. As others have said, in rain it would be your worst nightmare. Take the road, busy as it is.
I have to say that it came up to my geological expectations. The outcrops are fascinating as the dip and strike changes. Near the bottom, the beds have become almost horizontal, forming a natural staircase. In other places, the bedding planes dip in synch with the slope - very nasty if slippery.
I took 72 photos. Hard pressed to choose one. But I loved this eroded channel, where the sides look like old walls. The blocks on the right look like left-overs from a stone mason.
