Believe me, you just cannot tell how steep llech is from any photo or video, in some parts you have to walk really slowly and practically shuffle even in flat walking boots.
Someone died on that hill after slipping backwards and banging their head.
No video can do it justice

And this was commented by my mother. Thanks mom, you ruined it for everyone.

In Valparaíso, Chile 🇨🇱, roads like that one are everywhere. One is actually much worse. We call it “la maldita garganta del diablo” (damn devil’s throat”). I “hafta” contact Guinness Records right now !

Such a great car. 330 bhp and a nice looker I always thought. Need a petrol station nearby most of the time though :-)

It's 40% on the scale meaning 10% more and your scooby would have a new nose, a very very flat nose, so yes ITS MORE THAN 1:4
