I think it was nicked or something, It doesn't look in a spot to get stuck unless it broke down.
I bet it was fun going up |

It got stuck several times, but it didn't break down, or at least it wasn't shown to have done. I bet we all would like to do that run..........

I like the options for bringing it down.
My favourite would be break it up and take it down in pieces. A fitting end for a Frontera. |
