He's up in my neck of the woods, Wabash is about 40 minutes from my house.

You're probably looking at about an hour and a half, maybe two hours. Takes me about 2 hours to get to Indy and that's from Huntington. Plug those coordinates in to a map app and it should give you directions/driving time.
It'd only be worth it if either you were in the area, or there were a bunch of guys looking to get together/crawl.

Where do you go to crawl?

hmm. I can go out there and get some pictures of along the river. There's some good stuff (I think, but I've never run a comp). The actual Hanging Rock is cool but it's not a huge challenge. It's fun to crawl and might have more of a challenge to the scale crowd.
Like I said, it probably isn't worth coming up just to recreation crawl if you aren't close. I'm only 30 min. away so it's fun for me. Not a lot around me as far as good crawling spots, unless I spy a big rock pile at a construction site.

does anyone know the status of Vanilla Greens mini golf course in Royerton? i go by there all the time on my way to hartford city. sometimes it looks like its open an sometimes looks abandon. its small, an probably not much challenge for 1/10 comp rigs but looks like it could be a good way to kill an hour or two with a mini. ive thought about takin mine an just droppin in one day. worst theyre gonna do is tell ya to leave i suppose.

Its been closed for a couple of years now. Losicrawler2 lives about 3 miles from there and took his down there a couple times, said it wasn't anything challenging for a comp crawler. Said a scaler might be challenged down there. I don't know if anyone would care if you played there or not, I have been tempted to go there myself.

cool. may have to drop in there with the MRC sometime. like i said earlier worst thing could happen is someone show up and ask you to leave.

I go by there almost every week on the way to muncie. Someone opened it back up this past summer, but it is closed now for the winter. My thoughts from just driving by were what Losicrawler2 determined. I would like to have the rock though!

I went to Hanging Rock which is in Lagro, IN this weekend. It was pretty cool, nice climbs on the rock itself and also on the shore of the river. Big, medium and small limestone blocks/rocks. Has some good steep climbs and some nice technical lines too. Anyone around the area, it would be cool to meet up and crawl. You come in on 24 and turn onto N CR 300E towards Lagro. Follow that onto E Hanging Rock Rd (where CR 300 E curves right, you stay straight). Hanging Rock is on the left about a mile down. Latitude: 40-49'45'' N Longitude: 85-42'28'' W
i stopped by there on my way home from wabash today. ive been there once about 6 years ago an had forgotten a lot of it. its defiantely on my list of places to crawl now. had i thought ahead last night i coulda threw the mini in the truck with me this mornin.

Let me know if you ever want to crawl there with someone else. It's about 20-25 minutes away from me. Lot's of leaves down last time I was there a couple weekends ago...Probably worse now. Water was up too so some of the bigger rocks along the river were submerged.

i just had an epiphany.. westwood park in New Castle. public park with Horseback, hiking, and biking trails. at least a full mile of trail if not more. i rode horses there with my girlfriend earlier this fall. I will look into it. cost to use, and whether its open year round. cant beleive i didnt think of this earlier.
