If possible one of you guys email me tomorrow and give me directions as I am not real familiar with that section. I know generally how to get there but not certain. Perhaps we could meet up at the Sportsman and I could follow you guys in.

sounds about right.. when you take the left on little river dam road.. take the immediate left after you cross the bridge over the little river. you will see the dam on your left as you cross the bridge.. stay left and there's a small parking lot right at the dam.

adale4130 · 08-26-2009, 08:35 PM

shadowwalking.. sounds good to me.. my email is adale4130@yahoo.com

contact me there and i will give you my phone#.. its not far from sportsman so we could meet there.. its actually just about a mile or 2 past sportsman on the left.. you cant miss it.

awd199 · 08-26-2009, 08:38 PM

I will be on my way, unless something comes up. Question bout Radford area......Do any of you know if The Vintage Cellar still in business? Used to be located on Rt.11 close to Tyler Ave.

adale4130 · 08-26-2009, 08:41 PM

Pretty sure the Vintage Cellar is still kickin.. I know a guy that works there, but i think he transferred to the one in blacksburg. I could be wrong, but as far as i know its still there. With the economy though... so many good small business's have gone under its hard to tell.

awd199 · 08-26-2009, 08:43 PM

I may leave a little early and go check. I have been craving some Young's Double Chocolate Stout for weeks now.

jsowens · 08-26-2009, 08:57 PM

toward the beginning of summer i heard people talking about the vintage cellar having some crazy sale because they weren't getting much business. can't vouch for whether they're still open or not, though. i'm anxious to check out the new spot. that picture looks killer

bluezephyr · 08-27-2009, 02:36 PM

My cousin and I talked of there but we have since forgot to check it out. Dudes if you guys get to go today I am sure jealous I have to work today. Well I'll catch it next time.

jsowens · 08-27-2009, 07:10 PM

yeah bluezephyr, sucks you couldn't come today...we'll most likely be there on sunday, though. that place is a complete blast to crawl...and it has lights so you can see at night. we ended up only snapping a couple of pics because i forgot my camera and only had my phone. the first pic is an overview of all the rocks...it looks flat, but where i was standing is about 30-40 feet above the river and most of the rock faces are about 45 degrees or so i think. second one is a detail shot of one of the fun obstacles. awd199, shadowwalking...awesome meeting you guys today. message us anytime for crawling.

adale4130 · 08-27-2009, 07:13 PM

today was a blast! shadowwalking, awd199, it was good meeting you, thanks for coming over and crawling. This place is def. worth checking out

Anybody who wants to come down, we are planning to get together again this Sunday. Time TBD.

adale4130 · 08-27-2009, 07:24 PM

here's my creeper on the same run as above.. i like to call it the toilet bowl.

bluezephyr · 08-27-2009, 07:27 PM

Glad you liked it. I talked Shadow tonight he said he liked it too. I have a sitter for my little girl for sun so I think I will meet you guys then. Will bring my Creep and possible my 2.2 scaler. If the scaler tags along might not use it much Kind of still babying it a little. Anyhow talk at you later.

awd199 · 08-28-2009, 10:16 AM

Great spot for sure. Had a good time crawling that spot. It was nice meeting you all yesterday.

shadowwalking · 08-28-2009, 07:05 PM

Yeah, I had fun also. Looking forward to Sunday.
awd199, adale4130, jsowens, glad to meet all you guys, nice rigs as well.

We talked about "Lil' Moab" as we call it, here is a vid shot by R1Seven of us about 2 years ago up there.

Yeah like jsowens said that pic is from WAY up there, lol, its easily 200 feet from that little outcrop of rocks in the water to give you an idea of some distance.

jsowens · 08-30-2009, 03:46 PM

another fun day of crawling guys. here are more pics of some of the rocks so newcomers to the thread will have some eyecandy to look at. last picture sorta shows how steep some of the upper rocks are.

bluezephyr · 08-31-2009, 03:05 PM

Great for crawlers and my fav. 2.2 scalers. Thanks for the invite guys. I think crawling will grow alot at this spot.

awd199 · 09-01-2009, 12:14 PM

That's not that steep....lol. I may give you guys a yell next and see when you all are going back to that dam spot.

jsowens · 09-24-2009, 10:57 AM

have you guys been crawling at the dam anymore? me and adam have been a couple of times, but my schedule is pretty sporadic these days.

shadowwalking · 09-24-2009, 05:38 PM

Haven't had a chance, Sept. is always a busy month.

Maybe we will get a chance soon.

bluezephyr · 10-09-2009, 07:31 PM
