they have modified Humvee engines that can conquer approach angles of 90 degrees and climb slopes at 80 degrees.Am I reading this right? These things will climb a hill (more commonly known as a cliff) only 10 degrees off vertical? Color me pretty darn skeptical.

Color me pretty darn skeptical. Seems like it must be a misstatement. But then again, those rock-crawler guys do some pretty insane stuff.
