The PRECIPICE not for faint hearted

Post by Bulletproof »

The Precipice is a very very steep 100 feet high rock face on the West Coast at Seddonville. Many tough winch challenge boys have looked at it and walked away.

I might be wrong but to date Flag and Neil Barker winched up . Warwick Smith got lowered down on a winch. Andi delis got lowered half way and drove the rest. I have driven it twice.

Best you come over here for RR09 then Richard, and we'll really see what your are up for :P :P
I'm sure Chopper will have no problem showing you around.
Rock crawling was the fastest growing motor sport in the US 2 years ago, and those guys ( and the Aussies) make us all look like real pussies :?
Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!

We are talking about 2 completely different forms. of 4 wheel driving , and my truck is not set up for that kind of thing. I dont have split gearbox and extreme articulation like chopper.
And I dont deny what you are doing is extreme 4 wheeling as well, but in a different way.
