Do they drive up, 3 point it & come back down or is there a way on at the top of of some plateau.  Also how do you drive down one of these sides, is it just normal low box 1st & hang on tight ?, Cheers.

Or airlift out. I heard the nasty one had a gearbox failure so it just picked up speed and off it went! Not good you'd need more than airbags!

On the outside right of the tyre rubber lines just as it get really steep at the bottom there is a darker line and you can see where its run off between the cracks. Definatly some sort of liquid.
