60% slope same as 60 degree slope?

The H2 can go up a 60% grade. Is this the same as a 60 degree slope?

That looks like fun Phil. You actually went up an 84% slope? You didn't start to tip? Wow.

I've seen a lifted Jeep try that. It came tumbling down end over end. Luckily nobody was hurt.

Thank you for the clarification Phil. A 31 degree inclide does not seem like a lot but when you see the picture it does. I found a pipeline today and I wanted to go up it. From the bottom it looked extremely steep. I drove around to the top via an easy trail to look down. Looking down the pipeline did not seem as steep. I decided to try it and it was steep but never felt light in the front. I have no idea what the inclide in degrees was. It seems to me they should list it in degrees and not slope. I had my brother take pictures and I'll try to post them later.
