I don't think it was all that bad. but certainly not for somone on their own on road tyres.
If it was as slippery as when we did that recovery, I wouldn't have driven it for sure. I'm no chicken as you know, but there comes a time to say no.
It it's height of summer, bone dry, then there's no reason why doing it on road tyres would be a problem. Only issue is ramp breakover over the tree.
