Not spectacular, about 45 or 50 degrees, backing uphill.

 

I've been up and down a narrow two track a couple times that was probably a 50 degree angle. Love the X2 for the extra length on hills.
They closed it down about 2 weeks later as "too dangerous". No picks. I was too busy praying.

 

DeerKiller,

What do those tire chains do for you?

What many people don't realize many times with doing these deep angles on these verticle climbs is that
the ground still sinks unless 100% hardpack/rock and the ground moves as the tires
grind up the soil as it climbs (uphill). My point is I have had my quad peel out beneath me getting
stuck during a climb and DID NOT anticipate that happening. PRETTY SCARY as I could
feel my Quad lose traction, in leaning forward still and forcing side to side fishtail effect
I recovered and pulled to my climb but could off easy tipped it and rolled over at any second.
-- I wish I had a pic of that day, sorry! --

Its all judgement! Conditions, steepness etc. etc.

Cheers,
