I'm no geographer, but wouldn't a 6 story high "object" be classified as a hill? I believe I remember reading somewhere that the hill/mountain in question has to be about 2000 ft high or something to qualify as a mountain.
Are you sure they mow the grass? Usually people will just let that stuff grow.

Not high.
Above sea level. Big difference, since if you're someplace that is, say, 1950 feet above sea level, a 50 foot tall hill would be a mountain.

When I went down to Nova Scotia we went to see a fort, it had extremely steep sloping grass embankments to protect against cannon fire and various troop/cavalry charges. They mowed the embankments with push mowers; a long loop of rope was attached at the back supports where the handle used to be. Gravity would do the work, they would guide it left or right by pulling on one rope or the other. When it reached the bottom they'd bring it over a bit then walk down the other side of the embankment, pulling the mower up.
Maybe it's something like that for your "mountain".

Yep, I've seen the same, but with electric mowers.

The associated website says that this thing can mow slopes of up to 40 degrees.
I'm guessing something like it can handle most any slope actually worth mowing.
Edit: Neat fact, the chair on that thing swivels to remain upright at all times. I bet slope mowing buffs get off on that sort of thing.
Fuck, now I want one
I used to work on a model similar to those. They used only one huge wheel in front and back, that would turn up to 90 degrees. They will stay on a slope to steep to climb. They use mercury switches(Just like in Leathal Weapon:P) to keep the operator level. There is also a toggle to rock the angle of the unit.

Yeah, I've seen this too. Low-tech, but effective.

Shitty job.
I'm also curious, why do you want to know?

THat's... that's pretty silly.
Thats not true. Nobody with a brain would call a 50 foot hill a mountian.
but they're listening to every word I say
