I have been working on an endurance training plan using a treadwall in preparation to spending 6 weeks at the Red this summer. I am trying to figure out the approximate angle in the middle of the undertow wall. Using a pic from a rope on skinboat, I estimate 24.5 degrees. Has anyone else done any calculations on what the actually steepness is? I want to train at a slightly steeper angle, so I have been doing 8-10 minutes, and about 120 ft at 30 degrees overhang. Any input would be appreciated.

I was out there with HeavyC awhile back and we hooked an inclinometer (sp? (is that even a word?)) to a stick clip and put it up to I think Ale-8 and it was closer to 30. It doesn't seem like it is that steep, but that is what it said.

Just err on the steeper side and the undertow will feel more like a vertical one.

I didn't believe the wall was that steep but it consistently measured between 30-35 degrees

There's an app for that...on android...not sure about iPhone

Was that measured on lower part of wall, as it is steeper there, and gradually lessens in angle towards the top

The inclinometer was put on a stick clip that was extended to get a better sample area. I believe it was done either from the small ledge where Chainsaw starts or at the first bolt. I can't remember. Definitely the lower half of the wall where its steepest.
