If you did work a 45 degree as a first time summer?

Damn, impressive.

My hat is off to you and up voted!

I climbed 45 into my early 30's then got top heavy and couldn't. I know a few guys in their 60's that still climb without safety, a 45.

Interesting tidbit about first trump assassination and my views as a roofer.

In roofing, we call slopes either low slope or steep slope.

Low slope ends at 2:12.

Above that is steep slope.

It actually is about the way water reacts to steepness. Without getting too technical, water either sheds or does not.

Below 2:12, water will not run off a roof, it will penetrative from the roof to the interior of the structure. At below 2:12, you are now making what us oldies call, a bathtub.

Anyway,

You can literally play flag football on a 2:12 slope. Not dangerous as all as far as steepness, but our technical definition of steep starts at 9.46 degrees.

My thought as a roofer?

Somebody at secret service asked someone in the trades if that 2:12 to 3:12 roof (what it looks like from pics to me) was considered steep and they replied, yes it is.

Lol

Lastly, the most dangerous roofs are actually flat imo. Guys climbing tall ladders, falling through holes or walking backwards off the roof.

It is crazy the danger that comfort and a feeling of safe creates.

About 6 months ago, my older brother asked me to do a second look and it required a 2 story ladder climb. He ran up ladder, then I turtled up that ladder, making super sure of 3 steady points at all times.

He was like, wtf little brother.
Are you OK, you've done this thousands of times. I replied, yeah, but today will be the day, if it doesn't done perfectly.

I am a big believer of safety monitors on the roof. A lot of roofers hate it because it costs a lot and you have somebody barking at you, but it does save lives.
