Hill looks better everyday. Anyone have a video of anyone climbing it lately?

I backed up it last year.... :flipoff1:

Lol, looks like the rock part has gotten dug out more at the bottom since I was there.

Btw y'all, this hill is WAY tougher that it looks.... Imagine Cable Hill with the fear of a barrel roll if you f up

Naw, nowhere near Cable Hill lol. More like Backside 1 or 2 at Choccolocco :dblthumb:

Them side banks are good for catching you before you roll too. But if you do roll, yer fawked. That guy that rolled off it last year in the near stock jeep wrangler and mashed it all to hell done a straight up back flip didn't he?

It looks to be eroded a little more since I was there and pictures never do these things justice, but my ole rig went right up it no problem several times forward and once backwards.....over a year ago - I know it's changed since. Still no cable hill though molaugh

Agree with it not being Cable hill. Not near as long. It has gotten pretty steep, just wondering if anyones been up it. Rock Star Buggy was limping in on a bad leg (transmission was cooked) last time I saw anyone attempt it. He had it until a Yukon shaft let loose.

Before that, it has been spring since I saw anyone go to the top. Not poking the bear, just looking for a video. Got a guy that says he went up it in a RZR a couple months ago and still hasn't produced said video.

Stickies be the key on this climb! It would be a totally different ballgame without reds.

He was running 43 SX stickies. I think his transmission being on or off was his biggest issue :****:

Whelp, if anyone has or knows of a current video, post it up. I know they did some more work to the hill to make it a little more friendly on the bottom side. There is a smoother run up to the first ledge. Should make for a good video, which is what I was looking for.

Re:

I drove up to the big ledge a couple weekends ago in my gayzr... if that counts lol

It looks doable .. only thing is there's nothing to catch you if you screw up

From what I gathered, there was no video of that one. But that Jeep was totaled.

I've got a case of Beast Light I'll sit at the top if he can walk up it this week :flipoff1:

Hell, I'll even let him put on one of those custom pogo stick legs :stir:

Re:

The FJ got that sooper dooper diff lock for them serious offroad applications, such as this one. I think, if I got a good enough running go, I could jump it and land on top like BJ Baldwin, claim my case of beast, and ride off into the sunset.

This weekend, y'all be there and wait on me..... :rolf:

Re:

I pull up to the first ledge usually and try to spin some of the remaining dirt down.

Nope - no video of that one, there were only four people present at the time and I was one of them. Unfortunately, I was the one in the TJ you saw on the screen. It was a rookie mistake on my part. I was attempting to follow one of my very experienced buddies who crawled up it in LCOG 4 cylinder auto TJ with 37 BFG stickies. He was held up a little at the rock ledges, but with the auto and stickies he was able to basically just hang there, heat up the tires a little and bump up over them. I tried to follow in my manual 4.0 w/ 37 no stickies, tried it in second gear. When I got to the ledges I had a little too much speed and the front got light. Backed off the gas and it started to slide backwards. The back passenger corner hit the side of the hill and the front rotated down and it started to barrel roll. At the time I just thought "don't let go of the steering wheel" and remember seeing the passenger floorboard, along with a lot of crunches, impacts to my head, etc. which seemed to go on forever until it finally stopped. I basically stood up through what was left of the soft top and realized there was a fair amount of blood from my head and hands - and announced to my buddies "I'm okay, but bleeding". Next I had to figure out how to get out of the Jeep since it was basically suspended in a tree and the back of the Jeep was a good 8' off the ground.

My buddies lost count of the number of barrel rolls, figured ~ 8, and it actually did an endo over the bluff before landing in the tree. They said it looked like a NASCAR wreck as stuff was basically ejecting from the Jeep as it kept rolling faster and faster. I was able to jump down from the Jeep, they cleaned me up and bandaged some of the cuts. The one guy who drove up the hill then turned around and drove back down the hill since we had never been to Stony Lonesome before and he wasn't sure how to get back to me and the third Jeep in our party. We drove back to the office and I went to the hospital with one buddy's wife while they went back with a couple of guys from the park and the deuce and half and spend 4 hours winching, cutting trees, etc. to get the Jeep out. I ended up with a lot of lacerations, major bruises, a cracked cheekbone and chipped tooth.

I was REALLY lucky that it wasn't much worse. The Jeep looked really bad, but the damage was primarily body only, other than a broken track bar TRE, bent coil spring, bent anti-rock axle mounts, etc. The frame was very slightly (~1/4") tweaked in the passenger rear corner aft of the link mounts, so it didn't effect anything operational. I spent the next year rebuilding and improving it; including putting in an automatic transmission

Here's a photo where it landed, check out the scraped bark to give you an idea of how high it was when it landed:

Here's what it looked like on the trailer at the camp ground after the recovery:

And what it looks like now:

Re:

Damn, looks good from what I had originally seen. If you decide to come back, give me a shout and I'll guide you around. Glad you are OK and happy you haven't given up on offloading.
