    The camera is tilted to make the slope seem steeper. Clever camera work though and it's no doubt a steep hill, but it's not that steep.

    You can see how steep it is at 2.05, with the camera at the bottom looking up.

    When it switches to above camera it looks much much steeper.

    Still a good effort either way, especially as vehicles look stock. Wheels locked up, sliding down dry grippy rock? Yup, thats steep.

    I believe that the LR3 driver deliberately stopped but said afterward he would never do that again (stopping) it apparently was quite scary

    Find the vids of vehicles that tried it and failed gives you a greater appreciation...... Fortunately they had not got very far up the incline.

    awsome machinery but IMO idiot drivers, that was just stooooopid
    windows open, arms out of the window, way too steep looked like the d3 was going to tip back at one point.
    Safety first, sad i know.

    Saying that fantastic bit of film.
