Wrong. 30% grade != 30 deg incline.

Converter for those interested.

Yes, with stop signs =D. And Cable car Tracks. And Cross-traffic. LOL.

Bottom line = 30 degrees is sketchy, even ATGATT, on a Motorcyle.

[Edit] Citaton: Just how steep is this?

A large avalanche in Montroc, France, in 1999, 300,000 cubic metres of snow slid on a 30° slope, achieving a speed of 100 km/h (60 mph). It killed 12 people in their chalets under 100,000 tons of snow, 5 meters (15 ft) deep. The mayor of Chamonix was convicted of second-degree murder for not evacuating the area, but received a suspended sentence.

TL;DR: Avalanche Risk? = Don't skate !

37 degrees to be exact. Prentiss between Chapman and Powhatten

http://www.datapointed.net/2009/11/the-steeps-of-san-francis... cites it at 37% grade (37' rise for 100' run, approx 20 degrees).

I think you must be mistaken. 37° is steeper than any road you've ever driven. It would be very hard to even walk !

Ooops, my bad. I didn't know there was a different between grade and degree.
