Across the river from the US main on Korengal there is a spot that requires some fancy jumping and sprinting to get up, otherwise it's about a 5minute walk around. Places like this should be changed. Either make it simple to walk up, or make it impossible. Performing a Farcry type obstacle course(Where jump timing, speed, angle, approach are all keys to success) is not something I care to be doing in project reality.

Agreed, the hook is invaluable, Sunset (home of the roof camp) is just domination with ropes tbh.
And with Korengal, simply hook onto trees and you're fine.
Delegate the kit to someone smart though, there are alot of people around who cannot throw a for their life (literally)
Not a mapper, but I would have thought that any change to the climbable slope gradient would be an instant headache for all the mappers out there who have set these areas as unclimbable for gameplay reasons. Example being Asad, being able to scale the two main dividing cliff faces on the East and West flanks would certainly change the way the map was played (although one is protected by DoD, I bet you could make it). Even on a smaller scale, things like the limited entry points for the Muttrah Citadel, the mountains dividing Kashan South Vil and the bunker complex, etc. So even if they increased the climbable gradient, they would just make the mountains steeper on new maps to compensate.

But let say it's rock instead. You wouldn't be able to climb it anyways in PR.
The hook can only be used if it's thrown up an edge.
I think it would be really difficult to climb that even if it was rock. Have you ever been to the Stockholm archipelago? I swim there alot and I can tell you even a 45 gradient smooth rock cliff is difficult to get up from in the water, and that is barefoot with no gear except, well, my gear flopping about It is easier if your dry tough of course, but the picture was next to the river so lets imagine the PR soldiers getting wet for realisms sake.
A 60 degree cliff would be difficult to traverse further than a few meters for most soldiers even when dry. Try putting your arm in a 60 degree angle in front of you, it is pretty darn steep isnt it? If you loose your grip on that angle you will fall/roll/tumble until you hit flatter ground unless there is some root or tree or other object to break your fall.
This video show what could happen if you loose your grip when on a steep slope. It is hard to say how steep it is, my guesstimate is around 40-60 degree angle. She was lucky the rock broke her fall.

Eeewww.
Anyway, there's a 56 degree slope near me, light soil. When we did training with cadets we were in full gear, and sure progress up it was slow and many times you fell down to the bottom. But no one slowly bled to death because of it, and everyone, even Squirrel (who couldn't run 100m), managed to get up.
