Steepest grade you ever pulled or went down.....

I thought the steepest one I had been down was 11% on Pa 31 which is the Hazmat route around the Somerset tunnel on the Pa Pike. I ran the happy trail today Eastbound in my vehicle because the Pike was a parking lot from Irwin East.. There is a 14% grade on 31 heading East that I had never noticed before. There is absolutely nothing good about that road in the winter..lol..

 

My wife and I just had to do lovelands pass last week with a set of doubles. That is crazy!

 

Up here in alberta we have a hill just outside of Ft MacMurray that they call supertest.It starts out at 65% and at the top just under 78%. I do this run 3-4 times a week and when your dragging a 11 axle up it is literally a test of man and truck.

 

I'd say this guy wins!

 

I'd say your right, That or we really need some hip boots!

 

I really wonder what percentage that Ashburton Rd in Yonkers, NY is....i bet its not too far off from that! it felt like i was driving a rocket...

 

I would say hip boots, because a 78% grade is almost 45 degrees. 100% grade is 45 degrees.

 

Sorry, I have to call BS on this.

A simple google search of the steepest road in the world puts the grade at 37%.

You can see how steep the hills are with the pictures. 78% is an elevator, not a road.

 

I could pull this hill, slowly that is, but I don't think anybody would want to be at the bottom waiting on me if I went down it. LMAO
