the profile says road climb, but the map suggests its off the actual tar portion and going up to a hill of some sort. tbh, not sure. Maybe rapunzel can help us: she has the QOM for that climb.

 

edit: definitely dirt/jeep track climb. this is one of the pics along the route.

pm for location (about 2 hours drive from cpt): 2.3km at 15% gradient (and there's a 5km 7% climb to get to the start point)

There's also the Tokai mast climb (first half dirt, rest is tar): 10.2km at 8% gradient which strava classifies as HC

30% will have a few top Pro's walking.

[DMC007]

Got this off MapMyRide.

[gummibear]

Not near Cape Town but is 800m and a killer

 

[Cippo]

HC is unclassified, meaning its meaner than a Cat 1.

I think that's a glitch. According to my Garmin data, there are sections that reach +- 20%, for a few meters. But overall 10.5km @ 8.3%.
