I personaly can't walk a 6/12 anymore as I'm getting old and fat. But the guys do all the time. They wear sneakers, and walk the screw line.
Dust is usualy a bigger problem when it comes to slipping. I always man the bottom, and I'm in charge of rescuing their dumb butts if they should fall.
Once my brother took a head first slid on a 4/12 that had some white frost on it. I was ready, but he knocked the wind out of me. I said next time I would just step aside because it hurt.
If it is a big roof, the guys legs get to hurting, then we use a ladder and toe holds.
I;m curious why some folks think you have to strip off the old shingles. I'm over sixty, and have never seen or heard of a old house roof failing because of weight. A metal roof is going to leak some day, and the shingles will help a little.
I like your solid valleys, it seems to be the best in my opinion. We usualy lay two 2 x 12s down the valley, then put winter guard on just in case.
