Climbing isn’t about straight up, it’s all in the wheel placement - envision how the wheels are going to react across the terrain - eg, which ones going to go light and manoeuvre accordingly to keep as much weight going to the ground.

Of course you still need to keep it relatively stable so sometimes it’s not always possible and it may fail to proceed.

Land Rovers NEVER fail to proceed! Occasionally they decline the invitation.

I did an 4wd driver training course and it was great . The course could save your life especially if you are goint to play onbig hills.
There are lots of stuff on you tube but they dont explain everything as much aa a course can do and the instructors will teach you in your car.

When i go on trips with the LROCV we are reluctant to take people who haven't done driver training as it reduces acidents and problems.

I was speaking to the guy who took his Jeep over a bank and down to the river a year or so ago and he hadnt heard of driver training before the accident and wished he had.
