I agree. Slide down that algal nastiness, hit those blocks at the bottom, and over she goes, especially given that angle. Good idea to ask though. I think it takes more guts to ask, or walk the trail, than to just go for it.

Re: Should I try this in
I had to look it up to try to understand "slope" and "grade".
Quote Rivet, View from the Top:
"Grade is rise (vertical) divided by run (horizontal).
For example, 1000 feet over a mile is...
1000/5280 = 0.1893 = 19 %"
That makes the H3 about 20 degree angle slope and 30 degree grade.
I can?t visualize rise VS run, but I can visualize angles. I can add this to my dislike of the use of % for anything. Per 100?give me a break!  
Best regards, Happy Jack

I'm not sure I agree with you a 100% on your police work, there, Lou.  Your numbers are right, but slope and grade are the same thing. It just depends on which way you're pointing.
The H3 can handle a 60% forward slope, rising 60 feet for every 100 feet forward. This equals a 31 degree "pitch" angle. The H3 can handle a 40% side slope, rising 40 feet for every 100 feet across. This makes a 22 degree "roll" angle.
I hate % measurements too. But I guess the marketing folks liked the bigger % numbers better.
