Looks like there were already some brave souls that have gone up it.

I have seen someone with a Quadzilla go up a hill worse than that (not by much). Only it DEFINETLY wasnt that long. There was a slight easy curve into the hill but the rest of it was literally a 90 degree grade hill he went straight UP. When he waved me up I waved back! =-)

Is this at the power lines past Beaver Meadows? If so I was there when some people were doing this climb even did it once myself(one of the dug out ones) but some others were just way tooo hairy. I did watch a guy with a hooked up Banshee kick that hills a** all over the place. He could climb it any which way he pleased with power to spare. Bad thing about that hill is if you break loose you are finished, and it's no fun going down backwards. If it's not the same hill sorry but it sure does look like it.

Please tell me you made it up that on your quad!!
I've climbed hills just as steep and twice as long on my 400 at Blackwood. Of course, it took 2nd gear, a set of Blackwaters and an uncorked exhaust to do it.
This weekend I'll write down the directions to our riding area so you guys can come and see hills that you can't even see the tops of. Ones that you can't even climb on foot and the only thing topping them is a few buggies on alcohol and nitrous.

Well lets see, If your looking at a Pa map take 476 N to 81 N to the new rt 6 N and they are right off the Carbondale exit on rt 6.

And acually the front of the 7 story pile is worse than the back. The small bush at the bottom of the pile is about the size of a quad (use for scale)

And when you get to the top of the 7 story you can see the sister pile across the highway. (use car for scale)

Ok the 7 story pile is more like it, but it's far too smooth.
BTW where is Lansdale in relation to Tower City or Pine Grove? Always looking for new people to ride with.

Hey, you Pennsylvania boys need to head west to see some real HILLS. Of course they are mostly made of sand and don't hurt too bad when you wipe out on them. Good picture, very clear. Is that hill gravel or solid? Also, you probably wouldn't want to go too fast over the top I'm guessing.
