Rock crawling is an extreme form of off road driving using vehicles anywhere from stock to highly modified to overcome obstacles. In rockcrawling, drivers drive highly modified four-wheel-drive vehicles such as trucks, Jeeps and “buggies” over very harsh terrain. Driving locations include boulders, mountain foothills, rock piles, mountain trails, etc.
Rockcrawling is about slow-speed, careful and precise driving. Rockcrawlers often drive up, down and across obstacles that would appear impassable.
Rockcrawling competitions range from local events to national series. A rockcrawling competition is comprised of obstacle courses that are about 100-200 yards long. Each obstacle is set up with gates, similar to a ski course.
