Quite a bit steeper than the rolling dunes on our coast.

It looked like he almost made it.

Hi All,
Steep dune climbing or up the side of a hill there's really not much room for mistake,Ive seen more of this clip were they actually make it,I 4wd for recreation and some of the places ive taken my patrol you would think I was crazy,not quite as radical as this climb but not to far of it, Its all about the rush you get after you sucessfully do it, it gets even more challenging when you have a 4wd trailer in tow.
