Now 45deg is pretty steep, but it's a straight line, on a solid surface, with a safety cable. I think getting the approval to do it would have been far harder than actually driving it. Only guessing but I would imagine most modern real 4wds would be able to do it.

I'd say they drove it down.. Camera angles make it look a lot harder than it actually was.

Could you imagine the insurance payout if the Rover broke off 1/2 the front edge of the steps !!  ;D

Still better him than me, I'd be like the Irish and want two safety cables to be sure, to be sure. :cheers:

Any one remember the natural sandstone steps used in driver training around the Holesworthy  Firing range, Granted no where near as high but about the same angle.. But in a soft top series 2 / 3 Landy on cleat treads,   Bloody scary .

If you look on the ground, there are two safety cables ;) and then if you weren't 100% sure if that's what they are, they have "safety lines do not aid performance" at the end of the video

That's what I was thinking ??? Low range 1 or 2 with good tyres & just walk it up, rather than speeding ???

You'd have to wonder what they're hooked up to though ???
