Shoes made for the sports of bouldering and rock climbing are designed to provide a great deal of friction between the foot and the surface of the ground. Such shoes on smooth rock might have a coefficient of static friction of 1.2 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.90.

For a person wearing these shoes, what’s the maximum angle (with respect to the horizontal) of a smooth rock that can be walked on without slipping?
