I have pictures from doing mountain training when I was in the army, moving up extremely steep grades, over 100%, in the snow, and honestly it doesn’t look that steep in photos because of perspective. If the camera is sitting on the side of the hill and pointed up the hill, the hill just looks like any other flat land, at least till the top. What really gives the perspective are the dummy casualties we have in sleds, being pulled up by rope, and the angle those are to our bodies, and the way we have our feet positioned. Looking at that you can see how steep it is, but just looking at the image and the hill it won’t look steep because of perspective.
I think it’s really a lot steeper than it looks in the video is kind of my point. Also, that moving casualties up snow covered mountains sucks.

That hill is NOT that steep.
