climb a vertical wall!!!
browesing youtube and cam across this vid, I was totally amazed at this; even after reading many of your (Disco3) post.
is this an optical effect or has that D3 just gone up a 45-60 deg slope??
(edit) and RRS

they claim 43 to 45 degrees - and it looks like it - I don't think I'd have the balls for this even though its probably just low range 1st gear, rock crawl and off you go Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

It's apparently genuine , including the angles - wait for a few of the SA lads to spark up....2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

Maybe I would have got out and watched, rather than drive or be a passenger....

I was trying to post saying how cool would it be, to be able to do a bit of 4x4ing in a dry situation. But alas the site crashed again In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

It looks about as serious as Lion Rock in the US. I don't think I'd have the bottle to do that.

FYI this has been posted before and a 110 along with a jap 4x4 fails to climb and ends up rolling. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
