About this route
The N9/N12 escarpment climb out of George grinds 10 km up the Outeniqua range from 280 m to the 800 m summit, threading 40 sweeping S-bends with the Indian Ocean and the Garden Route plain falling away behind you. A steady ~5% cat-2 grind that is a Garden Route road-cycling rite of passage.
