In case anyone is wondering, I once got a car out a similar situation with a front wheel drive car.

What you do is start towing parallel to the road, not perpendicular (up the steepest part). You start moving, and the person in the towed vehicle then gradually turns toward the road. That way, you only have to pull a gradual slope.

You want a long tow cable, of course.

Smart way to do it.
