Allow me to explain. My partner and I wanted to get over this pass to ride down to Murdash, and were told it was a steep but doable pass. We wanted to include it in our Expedition Alay bikepacking route, and decided to try it. But after 4 hours of pushing up 6km, with dust filling our shoes and every pore in our body, we collapsed in our tent and decided to return downhill the next morning. Even if you're descending, this track will seriously dust you up. It's steep, dry, and if someone floods the road (which happened with us) it turns to a muddy mess that can seriously clog your bike and drivetrain. Have a look at the images before attempting this, and good luck if you do!
