Tahuya Anarchy hill

[JOOP]

This hill is damn near impossible. It's steep, the dirt is loose, the rocks are super smooth, and they move. Well I gave it a try today with my new Irok's, they didn't help. I still couldn't get up past the first few rocks. The rain didn't help.

What psi were you running in 'em? When I had my buggy w/ Irok's, I ran them at around 8 psi and they gripped the river rock quite well. Granted they had been broken in for a few years which may have made a differene

That hill is impossible right now. They need to move the lower rocks back into place and pour some concrete to keep them on the hill.

maby put them back in place and throw a log in the dirt in front?

I'm running 5psi. The problem is the rocks are super smooth. In the video you can see what light is making through the clouds shinning off them. They're almost liked polished rocks.

It's been discussed in the past about throwing some concrete on there but it still hasn't happened. I think that's the only way anyone will get any grip.

it was fun too, jeremy and i were the first ones up it when they rocked it. as soon as the excavator move to go put the winch block in we were on it.
we came back 2 weeks later and the rocks were pulled out and no one has gone up since.

This was my thought as well. If we had a post hole drill for the mini we could sink a couple logs in at the bottom say, ten or twelve feet apart. Then lay a large log down behind them to hold the whole bottom of the hill in place. You could build a sick shelf kinda deal you must get onto before you slam up the hill.

 

[super samurai]

yup, using resources from the area, just need the equip and the o.k.
ted grady is the guy that has spearheaded those hills, he is the shot crete guy also. he has everything he needs I believe accept a way to get the shot crete to the hill and shot on it.

 

[Horus]

Do we have approval to use concrete to create a hard formed base for the rocks? That would be ideal. I just thought a log across would keep the rocks stationary enough for now. As it is the rocks that have fallen out are just being wasted. We need to make the beginning of the hill doable with tons and 44s. Then the rest of us have a goal to shoot for.

The DNR does not allow the use of man made materials to build or harden trails. (other than bridges) We have had this discussion several times with Nancy regarding Elbe.

What do the guys with tons N 44s shoot for then?:stirpot:

They will be busy fixing the Busy for some time to come I imagine. Maybe by the time the Busy is back the way it should be we will have convinced them to open another line between Anarchy and the other rock hill. We can make it whatever the 44 inch tire guys want if enough of them press DNR for even more difficult stuff. Its whatever sells the most Discover Passes after all, right?

I did ask the DNR guy while they were building that stuff. There is a whole chunk of hillside between Anarchy and the big rock hill (I know it has a name?) Just begging for another Anarchy-like hill climb. He said something to the tune of lets see how these ones work out. I pointed out that what they were doing kicked ass and that if we had any extra unused trail mileage for Tahuya ORV, right there would be a great place to use 20 yards of it. :D

I've heard differently. A few months ago one of my customers was a DNR project management guy. We were discussing the use of concrete and he said it's in the works. He also talk about elbe and said "it's getting tore up pretty good" and he didn't want to talk much more about it. But he said something needs to be done.

I've also heard they got approval for the concrete from other sources too.

Ray (DNR E&E) told me the same thing last time I was at Tahuya.

I gave that hill hell in my 4Runner, and only made it to the 2nd stump on the left side. Truck started rotating to the right, and I decided it was better to back off than roll my junk.

The rocks just refused to stay put

 

[madhatter]

should probly stay away from that hill unless your on at least forties. bottom end is all torn up from little rigs, like this video, ripping away at it with no real chance of clearing the rocks. i got 3/4 of the way up and sat vertical before shutting it down. tons and forties.

I don't know if your talking about my rig or not but mine is on 40's, linked front and rear with a very built dana 44 up front and Dana 70 in the rear.

I'd say unless you have 54" tires, V8 and heavy foot it's probably impossible for your rig.

If you got 3/4 of the way up you should of been able to make it up. Getting past the first part is the hardest. Personally I think you're talking out your ass. :kiss:

 

[nowires]

Rock the bottom for your tires get clean and then it will walk it.

Gate keeper that thing for the barbies stay the heck out

 

[Maverick26]

Looks like a fun little spot... I have never been down that way and Im starting to want to go.

Whatever you do, dont pave the trail like we do up here. It is cool to have at least one hard trail in your park. I dont find it fun when I can "walk" through every trail.

I start wheelin walker in front low just to see how far I can get. :corn:

It hasn't broke yet and held up to me spinning my 40s on the rocks.

 

[the 59 fiat]

thought bout trying it in the snow last time and glad i didnt. i knew it looked tough but damn. make me wanna go out and try it.

 

[madhatter]

not knocking anyone so dont be an E ass. on the vid your tires looked smaller. i ran it before those rocks were there and there was just one big rock stick out of the hill. couldn't get enough traction to get the back over. but have seen torn up and rebuilt a couple times. i'll give it another shot soon and see how it goes. and you drive like my grandma, you'll never make it without a LOT more momentum.

 

[stealthrunner1]

:eeek: I'm I just a dumb fawker or does smashing the trail markers count as going off the trail???? In my out look at the wheeling legal trails knocking down the trail signs counts as driving Off The Trail!!!course i could be wrong...........but if the new reiter does get built... and this is let go ...i Expect that no one should have a problem with me taking out a trail markers!!!!!!:corn::corn::corn: What's up!!!!:eeek:
