This is an obscure gravel surfaced pass on a farm road, approximately 27 km due West of Dordrecht, in the Eastern Cape. The road starts at 1846m ASL and rises 70 vertical meters over 3,45 km to summit at 1916m. Expect snow here in winter and like the nearby Penhoek Pass, this region being part of the Stormberg can produce serious weather at any time of the year.
