Problem is you can't take a run at this bank, and unless your in a low gear at the bottom, you wont make it. If you need to change down on the hairpin, which is the steepest part 25% you will come to a standstill.
That's pretty tame, you want to see a real c*nt of a road?? A93, Spittal of Glenshee..... you can see from about 10 miles away just how steep it is, so you pick up speed and hit it as fast as you can, last time I did it I just happened to be in a Sprinter - - - - - - I freely admit that I wasn't exactly hanging back, by the time I got to the summit down to 10mph and struggling in 2nd gear. Then there's the way down the other side, if you don't watch what you're doing you'll be off the road

Another problem is that the very bottom does not look anything like 1 in 4. You only realise the steepness when you begin the climb.
This will be interesting
I’m curious what size of HGV vehicle are you driving and were you empty.
