just woundering if their is any fellow crawlers in newport news... or if any one has climbed that rock hill next to the liquor store on warwick blvd. that hill is massive and covered with rocks,i will try to get a pic of it up. it might even be worth driving from the beach to have a go at it.

Yes I have tried to crawl up it. Personally I think you will need the tallest tire that you can get, for a 2.2. This hill is almost a Super Class hill, but if you take you time and pick your lines carefully you stand a chance. |
