What is the most useful way of expressing gradient on a route card ?

Not sure how many appreciate what % slopes mean? Or What degrees equate to?
I'd go for 1: as in 1:20
1 vertical to 20 horizontal.
Or just put 'Gentle' through to just 'Plain Blooming Steep'

If you Google "Gradient", then the 8th item down (website of Macquarie Uni Faculty of Science) gives it to you pretty simply and of the 3 choices, the 1:20 option looks good: 1 vertical to 20 horizontal. The two pages belong directly to a mapping shop lesson.
I've seen High Camp Hut up to Mt Eliza described as 1:1, or a 45deg. incline.
