A 6.5% roadway grade means that for each 100 feet traveled, the road rises or descends 6.5 feet. While that might not sound like much, consider that a road might descend for a mile or more in mountainous areas. In traveling just 1000 feet down such a road, you will descend or rise 65 feet. So the answer is yes, that is a pretty precipitous (or steep) grade.

You can easily draw a slope defined in percentages using a grid or a piece of graph paper.

A 6.5% grade is considered moderately steep for a road or trail. It means that for every 100 units of horizontal distance traveled, there is a vertical rise of 6.5 units. It can be challenging for walking or biking but is usually manageable for vehicles.

Just bought a 2000 corvette and it slowely rolls on a steep grade when in first gear the compression is between 170-180 psi and the clutch is holding firm so is this normal for a ls1 6 speed?

If the motor is turning over as the car decends A STEEP GRADE it is normal. If the motor is not turning as the car decends a steep grade then your clutch is not holding.
