Here’s what wild about that. Olympus Mons is so massive and with a gentle enough slope that, across most of it’s topology a person standing on it, might not even know they were on a mountain. At about 22km high and about 600km wide, you could (very roughly on average) expect to walk about 13.6 meters in order to rise or fall 1 meter (~7% slope). Another source puta the slop at %5 (1:20). Those are both on the same order of magnitude of slope as a handicap ramp.
