Stand at one end and you cannot see the other. Pilots need a dedicated mountain rating just to fly in there. The slope does have advantages. Gravity does most of the work on takeoff, so aircraft practically launch themselves. Landings are the problem, because you have to keep power on all the way down just to pull the nose up enough to avoid flying straight into the surface. So I decided to beat it. First at 36 percent, double Courchevel. Then 57 percent, which is steeper than the steepest road in the world. Then 40 degrees, at which point the runway is steeper than the mountain next to it. The physics of this get strange very quickly. You approach fast, then at the last moment you go to full power and climb, because the only way to land on a slope this steep is to be climbing at 5,000 feet per minute at the moment you touch down. You are flying a go around into the ground. Stopping is never the issue. Gravity handles that. Staying put is the issue, because the aircraft starts sliding backwards, and taking off again means turning around on a surface that is barely survivable to stand on. On one attempt I accelerated to flying speed with the engines at idle, purely from gravity. A 737 can just about manage 57 percent. At 40 degrees you are climbing at over 10,000 feet per minute on final approach, which is more than a 737 can climb in normal flight, and nobody is landing there. I'm not sure what this proves, but it was fun finding out.
