SpokesCyclesMine got up there, but interestingly it'd only work reversing up the hill than taking it gently in 2nd/3rd- this is a fwd car. Any reason for this?
Probably more weight over the driving wheels provides more grip and traction. Same applies when it's not snowing, you'll often be able to reverse up a hill you cannot drive up forwards.

Simples - its a short steep hill by reversing up you got more weight onto the (front) driving wheels and hence more friction.
What I didnt say was mine turned into a sled coming back down it, should have went a smidge faster to keep the traction 😳
