can a 6.2 really do this

[BKinzey]

I'll accept it's at least mostly correct

After seeing 'tards make what seems to me obviously way off the mark estimations I can only question how many times people must have questioned if I was a 'tard.

pretty sure i got it

maybe next week we can discuss the first law of thermodynamics

You are forgetting one component, I had this happen to me and I have a very stiff suspension so with the softer suspensions, it's even worse:
Traction also will create lift, kinda like a wheelie, I was on a hill climb and i am pretty sure It was 45-50 degrees range, traction was very good, and I have a 1300 lbs engine in the front to weight was not a problem, I still almost flipped backwards just going idle, I slammed it in reverse and backed it off and saved it.
Now with a strap and secured to a strong point at the top you might attempt more than 45, but i wouldn't suggest you do it.
By the way, I am an engineer and I usually try and analyse thing in physics and dynamics, but somehow we always forget some details that in actual life do happen, if we were perfect in our calculations we would realise it but we sometimes neglect them.
If you don't have a suspension, and your tires are solid, your theory with traction could work if you accelerate seamlessly from 0 to whatever slow speed you crawl up.
That is almost not an option...

Yeah, i realized that there was a torque applied too that could flip you over, but I was under the impression that people thought there was not enough friction for one to climb a hill over 45.​

You are right. There are too many situations and possibilities to make a complete analysis of what might happen.​

However, if you know a certain situation, you can get a fairly accurate idea of what might happen.​

I do think that trying hills over 50 degrees are going to get very difficult and for most situations impossible.​

To say it can't be done is also not true but the way they do this in competitions is by use of external forces like a strap that the co pilot holds and pulls on to help prevent a roll backwards, so it's an outside force to the equation.

Anyway, after trying that hill, I don't WANT to try anything more than 40-45, it's just useless, I am not a young teenager trying to prove anything anymore, I just want to go to some nice remote place where I can camp and fish with my family.
