Is it OK to brag here?

So in the donga/aroyo just below where we live, there's this stock trail out of the canyon. I've looked at it several times when I've been riding, and thought it was just too steep for me. Just before supper tonight, I went and had another look and gave it a try.

It starts out with an S turn near the bottom then gets quite a bit steeper towards the top.

I chickened out and stalled just before the steep part.

That's most of the way around the S curve. It get's steeper in front of the bike.

Managed to back down and gave it another try--all the way to the top this time! That felt good! I also can see that I'm getting a bit better at riding.
