This is a modern, well constructed (but narrow) concrete road that makes use of part of the original historic Oudekloof Pass route and then swings away to the south to climb to the very top of the peak, where an array of Telkom and other microwave towers bristle at the summit.

We obtained special permission to film the route, which provides magnificent and varying scenery, but it is seriously steep and as well that it is concreted.
