    Here is a link to another one of Bevan Wall's video sequences on Youtube.

    This show 3801 + 3830 climbing a few miles of 1 in 30 with 8/something like 380 tonnes.

    It is an 18 minute long feast of thrash!!!

    Top find. There's also a set of clips on YouTube of the same pair climbing to Illawarra. Same superb thrash.
