This short poort offers surprisingly beautiful scenery after the flat approaches on either side over the vast Karoo plains. The 3,2 km long poort has 8 bends, corners and curves, several of which exceed 140 degrees radius and two are very sharp, requiring a reduction in speed. The poort offers wonderful scenery of contorted and twisted rocks set amongst steep sided mountains. With an average gradient of 1:50 these are typical poort style statistics and the steepest section is a very easy 1:17. The poort is on the tarred R329 and connects Steytlerville in the south with Jansenville, Klipplaat and Wolwefontein to the north-east.
