This stunning (4x4 only) gravel pass is located in the heart of the Eastern Cape between Seymour and Whittlesea on the R351 and climbs almost 700 meters in altitude to summit at 1622m ASL producing an average climb gradient of 1:15 with some sections as steep as 1:3. For the adventure biker fraternity the pass is rated orange in good weather and red when it's raining/snowing. The pass is named after the Kat River, which is a tributary of the Great Fish River. The name derives from the wild cats that were abundant along the river banks during the nineteenth century. (Source: Mountain Passes South Africa).
