acclivity

But most of all I admired the countless villas, covering every hill and every acclivity as far as the eye can reach, as if the city extended beyond the mountains into the far distance.

The moment they bounded up the steep acclivity they were safe, and the wearied horsemen turned again to the camp.

When the advanced trenches of the enemy started, volleys came also from the ridge of the acclivity leading from the river-bed to the emplacement of the nine-pounder Krupp.

Above, for many a league, the bank was guarded by an unbroken range of steep101 acclivities.

A steep acclivity, as the slope of a hill, or the side of a ravine.
