There are at least another two passes with the same name, one in the Western Cape and confusingly, another in the Northern Cape near Garies. This pass is aptly named, as it is both a long ravine and it passes through a range of mountains called the Langberge. The road is in a reasonable condition and can be driven in any vehicle in good weather, but on the day of filming the road had been recently resurfaced and was covered with sharp stones, so if this is the case, the chances of getting a puncture are fairly high. The area is quite remote, with only a few farms interspersed along the route, so if you are going to drive the pass, it might be a good idea to let somebody know where you are going.
