Approaching a Hill

When you approach a hill, you need to decide if it is one

of those hills that is just too steep to climb, descend, or

cross. Steepness can be hard to judge. On a very small

hill, for example, there may be a smooth, constant incline

with only a small change in elevation where you can

easily see all the way to the top. On a large hill, the incline

may get steeper as you near the top, but you may not see

this because the crest of the hill is hidden by bushes,

grass or shrubs.

Here are some other things to consider as you approach

a hill.

• Is there a constant incline, or does the hill get

sharply steeper in places?

• Is there good traction on the hillside, or will the

surface cause tire slipping?

• Is there a straight path up or down the hill so you

will not have to make turning maneuvers?

• Are there obstructions on the hill that can block your

path, such as boulders, trees, logs, or ruts?

• What is beyond the hill? Is there a cliff, an

embankment, a drop-off, a fence? Get out and walk

the hill if you do not know. It is the smart way to

ﬁnd out.

• Is the hill simply too rough? Steep hills often have

ruts, gullies, troughs, and exposed rocks because

they are more susceptible to the effects of erosion.
