Tackling steep climbs can be very dangerous, especially if you're riding an ATV with insufficient power or you don't know squat about how this thing is done. One idea which sometimes prove to work is scouting ahead and imagining an uphill route and then riding your quad uphill like you stole it.
Hesitations will cause you to lose momentum, slow down and eventually come to a halt. And when this happens, there are the most common scenarios: you have enough grip and the beast has enough power to start anew and make it to the top, you slowly start to descend rear-first until you can find a way to safely turn and try again, or you throttle hard, choose the wrong path and come off the quad, just like this guy.
Thankfully the ATV did not roll over him so he's unscathed, but the quad is surely in need of some extensive repairs.
