Found this on Youtube. The last section is apparantly 49 degrees...

Wonder why the Jeeps couldn't get up it?

After watching all 3 videos I draw the following conclusions:
1. It appears easier when very dry than it is when damp.
2. Jeeps, as I have always said, are NOT Better 4x4;s than similar vehicles.
The Jeeps are all hammering it up in that very low low range that the Rubicons have.
They are too slow & are revving too high.
They;d do better using 4 High, not sure if you can activate Diff Locks in high, but if they can, then that would be ideal.That Triton went up at much, much lower revs.
Jeep drivers are knobs...

I found it interesting. I have always thought that JEEPS would automatically outshine other brands as I think they are brilliant 4x4's.

Makes me think twice about a crawler gear.
But also weight is a killer. The less you have of it, the better.

They do on rocks. Elsewhere it is less so.

We've actually had the privilege to visit Springs 4x4 Park about 6 months ago...
Beer o'clock hill is definitely intimidating, but not sure about 49 degrees. Not sure what "Koos se klim" at Moegatle is at the beginning, but I would guess that it is a similar angle.
We could not stay long at the hill, but was fortunate to see a little Suzuki make it to the top. Nice and slow, no revving or trying to race to the top.
