Its pretty steep,if you get tired you can stop and lean up against the state. Make sure your bubble is level and try to get your feet dug in. You have to be able to judge without seeing the ground and in dark woods and bright grassy slopes. If you wear a greasey ball cap, bib overalls and no shoes you will fit right in. You can even bring a female cousin as a date if you have one that you like. Iam a hillbilly so its ok for me to make fun of me.
