Just got back a few weeks ago and did not hit this obstacle but started looking a youtube vids and have yet to see anyone make it up all the way. Anybody here beat this hill? Got a vid of it? I would love to see the rig and the person to make it up!

I've been to Harlan 8-10 times and have never saw anybody even tryn it much less makin it.
 
I've tried it, but never made it half way. I think it would require generous V8 throttle and sticky comp tires. I have heard that it's been done a few times.

How'd that pile get on there.
 
I've seen video of a cab truck with a worn out 302 make it up, in the snow. And I'm pretty sure Bigwoody made it up it once. That is all I know for sure. Heard a few claim they made it though.

I was hoping a witness would speak up before I did....
I made it once all the way out the top and it wasn't exactly dry either. From the looks of the top of the trail not many people had made it, the trail was waste deep grass and brush. I made it another time all the way to the top and got hung up in mud in the turn at the very top, the worst of it by far is that deep ass hole/ledge half way up.

Matt, we will go by it this weekend. You will see. It's the one with the "helments required" sign. Bring your helment...
 
Youtubed alot of attempts by the Devils, Tim Cameron and several others with well built rigs and buggys. I wish I could be there to see a successful climb in person. Once I beef up the cage Ill have to hit it with the old Bronc.

I saw a video of you launching the buggy up a hill and catching air at the bottom. Is that Pony Hill?

Umm, it's on the RIGHT, before you get to lower Damnnation!

Well, I have told many people that it was a just how far you can go thing, I honestly didn't know there was an out to it at all.
Greg I would have paid admission to see you make that!
 
HA! The first vid is mine of my friend.^ It's steeper than video shows and slicker than you can imagine. His jeep was on 37" Pitbulls and there was no way he was going to even attempt the big ledge. He was just playing around on the lower part.
 
I've never gotten much past that second ledge....of course ive never hit it with tons of momentum either so who knows, hill climbs arent really my thing haha

I dont see why you couldn't crawl it when (IF) its dry with the right vehicle. Stickies would be a must for that i would be pretty sure.
