Given the fact the wheels are locking up on solid and rough rock on the way down I'd be tempted to say it's genuine - I'd be if I'd take my D3 up it though!!!!!!!

Looks genuine enough to me, probably not a good time or place to stick your hand out of the window to grab the A pillar though Clive

Judging by the angle of the trees in the background I would say it's genuine Cheers Ian

This vid has been doing the rounds on here for some time ...ISTR one of our SA friends on this site was either driving or there at the time 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
Whilst I think it is genuine, I also think the cameraman has exentuated the angle - the grass towards the top is coming out at about 45' to the rock, the trees when it comes down are not vertical, neither is the person at the bottom.
But it is definitely steep!Mark.

Maybe exaggerated angles a bit but looking at how far forward in the arches the back wheels are I would say there's quite a lot of tension in the drivetrain indicating a rather steep incline. More than I'd take on for sure.

Dont look at the land rover look at the GRASS! The grass should grow vertical and not at 45 degrees ?
