The steep face of a mobile sand dune is in the lee of the prevailing wind. Therefore, to climb the steep face you would be going against the prevailing wind.
The slipface of a dune is the steeply sloping side of the dune that faces away from the prevailing wind direction. It forms as sand grains are blown up the windward side and then deposited on the leeward side, creating a steep angle due to gravity pulling the sand grains downward.
It is a sand dune that is formed at right-angle to the prevailing wind.
The steep side of a dune is called the slip face. It is the side of the dune where sand grains are deposited as they slide down due to gravity.
