Brutally steep with no shade. Exposed to the heat and with rough gravel. Worth every drop of sweat though, with amazing scenery and the descend to the Cederberg Oasis coming up.
This is a very steep pass down to Wupperthal. a large propartion is roughly cemented but is still very bumpy . the steep section is 4.5 km and drops 400 m
This is a very steep ascent out of the The wuppperthal valley. about 5 km with an scent of 500m. It involved quite a lot of pushing for us lesser mortals
