Would you climb this hill on your RE?

The camera does not show slope very well.

Wow, beautiful pic!  Where is that at?  And yes, I would climb that hill with my bike.    :)

I still have the stock tires.
The hill is mostly made of rock ,so traction is "good" when dry.
 
I don't do it if its wet.

On my Honda, not on the Enfield.  I'd ride around the other side and enjoy the view from it.

If a Matchless can do it, it should be a snap on a Bullet
