I thought I was going to tip over. The small smooth rocks caused my vehicle to slide. My wife took this pic as I was trying to decide between forward or reverse. This was in Nova Scotia. Click to enlarge.

The angle doesn't look bad until you see the building's level.
I would have turned the wheels hard left and rolled forward until you were pointing straight down and then backed out.
Gotta be careful, as I'm sure you already know, with those rigs because you have a high center of gravity and it doesn't take much to roll those babies on sidehills. Probably not as bad as the old CJ's but you still have the CG up higher.

tf I have been to Nova Scotia and loved it, when I was there it was long after the movie the Titanic ( well it was actually a couple years after ) had come out and the woman I was with lived right next to the cemetery where many from the ship where buried, she told me that when it had first came out they use to get tour buses up to the cemetery, well it was pretty cool reading the names and finding familiar ones from the movie, in fact we found the grave site of the guy that Leonardo DiCaprio had played, he was actually a worker in the engine room but it was a real name.
OK tf I hope y'all have a great trip and be careful, rolling down the hill just might put a dampen on a great vacation

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

What? No angle indicator on the dash? I think you had a bit of room.

Well, I'll tell you.
At 25 degrees I have to change my deodorant.
At 30 degrees it is time for new underwear.
At 35 degrees I start to become a Democrat due to restricted blood flow.
