Well...let me see now. As I recall:

Craig blasted up that hill twice in his H2 with no problems, so this guy thinks he can make it cause he's got an H1. Why do people in H1's think they can do anything an H2 can do????

He lost his forward momentum and got stuck. His front-end drifted and he lost his forward direction and let the front-end drift sideways. His next move was to try to turn the tires uphill and blast the power...the whole rig went moreso sideways, slid downward into a rut and then rolled over. Once it rolled over, the thing actually slid down the hill until it came to rest.

They couldn't recover him uphill for several reasons. Nobody had 150' of cable AND the whole rig was buried about 14" into the ground and there was no place to attach to. The story tells the rest.

No idea on damage total or what became of the rig. Classic example of people thinking a Hummer can do anything and go anywhere. Rumor has it there's a little something called "talent" that's involved.....
