This pass is a joy to drive for its smooth surface, perfectly banked curves, and comfortable gradients. With it's lowest point at just 1m above sea level, it rises to a summit altitude of 202m producing an easy average gradient of 1:37 - It is also known under any of the following name derivatives: The Grootbrak Pass; The Grootbrakhoogte Pass; The Grootbrakrivier Pass; The Grootbrakrivierhoogte Pass; The Brakrivier Pass; The Great Brak Pass; The Great Brak River Pass. The Small and Great Brak River Cuttings. To add to the confusion, the old pass (R102) also bears any one of the above names. (Source: Mountain Passes South Africa).
