This road reminds me of High Bar Rd, which drops into the Fraser River canyon just west of Clinton, BC. I knew ahead of time what I was getting to (25% grades), and was in a small SUV with good brakes, but I would have been more comfortable with low range. And the weather was nice and dry. It was single track, but the switch backs were large enough to pass a grader.
