Boss, did you even read the article or watch the video at all? If you watch the video, you will see that GV did reach the top. But the reduced breakover angle thanks to skid plates made the GV sit on the ridge, stopping it from completing the climb. It would have completed the climb if the skid plates hadn't stopped it abruptly.
