First: Way to get out there!
Second: Yup that is typical November and generally have to get over 6000 or higher for any fun. =(
Third: With experience you will find that your initial claimed 45 degree slopes are really only 35 or 30 degree slopes as is true of your climb. If what you typed is true, the 45 PERCENT %, that would equate to about a 15-20 degree slope, as a 100% slope is 45 degrees. Not sure which you really meant... Most do not even have a clue what a percent grade means especially in the climbing world. If that is what you meant, I would stop using it as it creates confusion.
Sorry about that. It was an error on the 45%. It has since been corrected. I meant to say 45 degree grade. Chances are it may have been less than that but it looked about that steep a grade from what I side traversed.

Re: Good catchThere were a couple short sections where we did hit 45 degrees however most of the climb from where we left the trail was about 35 degrees
