Default FYI...crawling in the morning...

Figured this would be easier than texting...

I'll be at the Clemson dam to crawl for an hour or so Monday morning. I should be arriving at or around 10:30 and can stay til no later than 11:30. I will be going back later that evening...probably around 4:30-5 and staying until dark.

Tuesday...possibly in the evening again.

Wednesday...no go

Thursday...I'll be out there around 12:45 and staying for 1.5-2 hours before I head back home.

I'm gonna bring my headlamp to take advantage of as much time as I can while I'm there...after all this about as close as I get to being able to crawl one of our locations and not having to drive over an hour to get there

I was able to get in a little over an hour worth of time on the rocks. The new rig worked very well and only had one issue and repaired it quickly.

New rig? We need more and better pics man. A secret weapon??? Oh, btw, and Sid will attest to this, I did make it through the gate 7 on the final course clean yesterday. So it is possible but maybe not while you're on the clock. Let me know what you think because I know it will kill you until you make it..... Now let's see that rig..

I was trying to remember the courses...I was running the finals course but got side tracked before I made it to gate 6 so I'll have to go back and check it out.

Videos incoming...

This was just a nice little line I found this morning that combined some good off camber drops, narrow ledge and even a good break-over. Give them a few hours and they'll be available in 1080p

Looking good man. I like it. I see you came back from the dark side.. I knew it was only a matter of time.. Seriously, rig looks good and looks like it's working good too.

Yessir it does...it's actually plenty tall on the sides but I have trimmed it down to the 3" mark. I have it mounted on 2 plastic body posts with some ability for it to move up and down on sharp breakovers and such.

I made sure to get up extra early this morning so I could be on the rocks when the sun came up. I was only able to run the truck for 5 minutes before a screw fell out of one of the front lower link mounts on the axle...not sure how that happened unless I just flat out forgot to tighten it after I had it out last time
