Slope Inclinometers Advice

Does anyone have a favorite slope inclinometer they use while touring?

My wife and I have this and it seems to work pretty well. It doesn't take too long to be able to eyeball slopes but you might need to re calibrate your eyes every so often.

There are a number of apps for the iPhone, some free some not. I imagine for android as well. The latest iPhone update includes an app called "measure" that has a level built into it, which as works as a simple slope angle indicator.

The Fresh Alpine Line article is very thorough and useful, thanks. A few buddies have those stickers and use them to eyeball angles from a side profile while skinning up. The details about how to estimate angle from directly above and below are useful.

Bruce Tremper, in Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain writes about the grave inaccuracies of the sticker inclinometers though. He seemed to recommend phone applications but did not cite a particular preferred application. It's good to hear that this tool has been helpful for you. I'll have to read the Fresh Alpine Article and gain a better understanding of how to use thee sticker.

I recently noticed the measure and level application on the iphone but have not tested them outdoors. I have tried the BCA application that has a slope angle indicator but end up finding seemingly inaccurate results. Is there a particular application that you have experience with? Thanks

I've got one of the bubble slope metes that has a snow crystal grid on back - I think it's a BCA (Back Country Access) - about $20 - works just fine. I also have a small one that comes on a key ring, I keep it clipped on my backpack - only a few dollars and works fine. Honestly, I mostly eyeball it.
