What is "pitch"?

What is meant by "pitch"?

I just read that Rumor at Gore is has a pitch of 70. It was steep, but it
couldn't have been 70 degrees, but I don't know what else it might refer to.

The probably meant 70 percent pitch.

Percent in pitch means the percent vertically in comparison to the
horizontal, so a 100% pitch is a 45 degree slope.

Tangent, or vertical drop divided by horizontal run.

No, a tangent is when someone changes the subject. For instance, to
argue about semantics.

And "Perfect Pitch" is when you toss a banjo into the dumpster and it
doesn't hit the sides.

Or that area between the creases where the googlies bounce.

Geez, I was satified with the very first answer; didn't know I would get all
the rest.

How steep do trails get?

Nearly vertical, for short distances. For sustained distances, about 50
degrees is about the most you're going to find in-bounds. Backcountry
steep-mavens are tackling 60 degree plus terrain - more than that and
the skis (and snow) won't stick.
