fair enough.I can't prove the angle but it's steep enough for you to see with your eyes that it's over 45 degrees. It is in a load of trees so just compare the car to the trees.
Pics?

I like to think I know a fair bit about off roading. I am one of the youngest on here but I'll bet I've got more hours and experience than most people. I do proper off roading on sites most weeks and laning at least once a week. I also take a detour up at least a 50 degree hill through the woods on my way home most nights
Still, I believe that talking is 50% of off roading. I try something new every time I go and if it works then great, I can add it to my repertoire, if not then, you know for next time. Example; don't try and be clever by towing a broken rangie through the deepest mud you can find when there's a perfectly good path along side it or you will end up looking like a tit and have to recover yourself first and then still rescue them
I was calling WLM someone who does off road. That's what it was meant to mean anyway if it didn't come across like that. I'm saying he will back me up in the fact they will go up near vertical slopes and what the manual says is a conservative estimate and is more about the oil in the engine than grip. 45% is the maximum sustained operating angle, not the maximum angle it will climb. I don't have a clue where the pics are saved, my mate took them on his phone. If I can't find em I'll just take more since I go up there at least once a week.

nobody doubting the abilities of a landrover,i often find i run out of bollocks way before the landy gives up..Yep I've got pics. Landyman, you know for a fact landies do things that aren't in the manual. People who don't off road won't believe what they can do. I often take my mates up it and they never believe it will pull up it but it always does. .

Kaos, is that your landy in your avatar?
Which means?
looks about 30 degrees to me.Right here it is YouTube - ‪Defender climbing‬‏ Doesn't look anywhere near as steep as it is in my opinion but feel free to comment. You have to follow the link because the video is private so you can't search it.
When are you putting the hill video climb on?
That video was of a landy driving over a mole hill

This is what about 45 degrees looks like.
