edit/could conquer this riding challenge

[dantama]

This is the first time in decades that I wanted to do something on my bike, and couldn't do it.

It would surprise you what a simple thing got the best of me. It is a 45 degree incline that is about as narrow as I do 360 parking lot circles with no problem.

I thought that because there isn't a transition from flat to angled, it would be nearly the same as doing it on flat. I tried it last night and couldn't do it. I'll go back this morning and take some pictures to show you what I'm talking about.

Out of all the cliffs, bridges, rocky hills without even a cow trail, skate parks, etc
. I'm surprised that this simple thing is what got me too intimidated.
