The other ramp is steep and narrow with stone walls on both sides. Also, that parking lot may make it difficult for a long vehicle to get straight enough to back down the ramp.

Many years ago I launched a boat there and while backing down the ramp the weight of the boat pulling backwards kept causing the front tires of the towing vehicle to lock up. Surge brakes on the trailer don't help at all in reverse!
