Oh, and Joe Hagarty.... "manufacturer's recomendations" is not the correct answer.

Sorry Nick...that's the slipperest I've come accross? but I'm sure I haven't seen em all. I guess I'll find out in a few minutes though. I'm just amazed to be the first to answer...that's a win all in it's self! even if it's wrong.

Would that be clay tile roofing.

Due to the surface of a fired clay a glazed surface exists and has a low friction co-efficient. Dirt would probably assist with slide factor.. I would not walk this roof even when dry not for just damage reasons but "sliding reasons"..

Wood shake or shingle roofs I have found to be very slippery when performing work in the wet months.. But I guess all roof types are found to be slippery when wet..

But a "slippery when dry" roof is hard to come buy.. LOL

I'll give you a hint... there is a class action settlement regarding this roofing material.

The suspense is killing me,...I can't think of anything as slippery as a sheet metal roof. They use them alot in the mountains and areas with heavy snow loads as it just slides right off.?????
