Grade gradient degrees slope
Would it be correct to ever say “uphill ascent”?
Is it correct to say “the uphill ascent is too steep”? Or do you have to say “slope is too steep”?
Can you describe a slope as steep?
Can a slope or street be AT 20 degrees?
Can you say “ascent up the hill is gradual”? How would you phrase this?
If the the slope/street I'm living on is at 20 degrees and the ascent up the hill is gradual, I don't mind.
Are these 2 natural?
The hill’s ascent is gradual with a grade of 5% over 2 miles.
The ascent up the hill is gradual with a grade of 5% over 2 miles.
Would you phrase this differently?
The ascent is at a 20% incline.
Thanks so very much

anonymous Would it be correct to ever say “uphill ascent”? I found a few citations in 100 years of Google books: The treadmill is slowly calibrated to an incline, simulating an uphill ascent with a 9% grade. The temperature hovered in the mid-thirties as we began the two-mile uphill ascent along Mount Sterling Ridge.
