100% grade = 45 degrees. At search and rescue we get to calculate this stuff quite often. The grade will determine how many folks are allowed on a rope.

I climb every week end . When you are standing on a 45 degree and greater slope it is surprizing how darn steep a slope 45 degrees is. It looks like nothing when I look at a set square.
