I wouldn't be taking mine up that slope. Holy crap that's steep. If it's real, you've got to admire the D3 in light of the failures, but bl**dy hell........ The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

OK, the stop halfway up was just to show off , i did this clime (yes PSC, it's koos se klip) many times before and know it well.
I have to admit that i almost myself when i pulled away and it started to go backwards it felt like 2 or 3 meters but from the video it is obvious that it was almost nothing
i don’t think i will do stop manoeuvre again

I've just measured this at 43 degrees !!!!!
------ and when the D3 is level with the camera it appears to be over 50 degrees
(someone tell me I'm wrong!)

From the video it looks like the slope increases higher up
