No. I was in the process of stopping, and as soon as I stopped moving, the passenger side started up. So at that point, I pointed the wheels down, and tapped the gas. Then I stopped, once the thing was not at that bad of an angle. But when it was stopped, I quickly glanced at the inclinometer (force of habit), and yeah, it was at 39 degrees. And it was incredibly stupid on my part to stop there, too.

edited to add:

ok, so technically, yeah, you can hit a 70* rock face (90* if you really want...) and climb up it, provided it's only around 24" or so tall, if you have 33" tires. But if it's much taller than that, you're not making it up in a Nissan. Not unless you've got 37"+ tires, and a hella' lot more torque than what we've got... Any bigger than 24" or so, and even if you do get your front tires up on it, US spec'd Nissans don't have the break-over angle to do it. Wheelbase is too long and/or tires are too small.

But if you want to see something freaking amazing... find the vids from Nationals last year, of the UROC circuit... They had +/- 80* hill climb, at least 20' up. And yes, some buggies even made it w/o a spotter on rope. Now THAT was an incline!
