Probably a fried clutch.
I wouldn't even try to drive forwards up a 60 degree hill!

The clutch was burning... like hell...

No problem with that, in my opinion... unless you do it all day.

Re: reverse smell....... (kyokoris)

Burnt clutch... don't rev your engine so high when your clutch is partially engaged or at friction point. If you're backing up slowly just hold the revs somewhere more gentle and then hold the clutch at friction; no harm should be done there.
The smell should go away.
