The tough part about the slope question is that nobody carries a device capable of getting even a close estimate of a slope angle.


Yes, that's the problem I don't have a good feel for degree of slope -- was hoping some of you wizards would.

Half Dome's a good example. I could actually find or calculate the slope -- that's about right for the upper limit of feeling comfortable with friction climbing.
