This is one of the great classic passes of Limpopo province. It has less than 29 passes in total, but amongst those are some of the finest scenic passes in the land. This pass climbs 446 vertical meters to summit at 1400m ASL producing an average gradient of 1:17 with the steepest parts being at 1:9. The pass is tarred and is suitable for all vehicles.
The mountains here are a place of wonder, delight and perfect for adventure sports. The afro-montane forests provide the canopy to a playground of hikes, rock pools, waterfalls and MTB trails as the ever present mountain mists smother the pass in wet cloudy conditions.
Put your head lights on (not your parks) and be wide awake if you drive this one in the mist.
