We attempt the IMPASSABLE PASS | Cape Route Rally

Описание: Cape Route Rally – The Impossible Challenge | Part 1

Welcome back to the Cape Route Rally – and this time, it's The Impossible Challenge. In this action-packed Part One, we tackle the first three days of our most intense adventure yet through the rugged Northern Cape.

Day 1:
We kick things off with a prologue at the Lamberts Bay Dunes. With rain-hardened sand giving way to soft underlayers, the dunes were perfect for drifting and testing our vehicles before the real challenge began.

Day 2:
We journey deeper into the Northern Cape, making our way through muddy gravel backroads toward Kamieskroon. There, we took on three massive granite mounds – each steeper than the last – culminating in a successful climb up the infamous Pinnacle Point (aka Hansies se klip), a granite slab with a 43° incline. It was steep, sketchy, and unforgettable.

Day 3:
The challenge we came for, The Impassible Pass. A long-forgotten mountain pass leading to an abandoned mine. The descent was brutal – loose rock, wet sandy terrain, and massive drop-offs. But the real test came going back up. From tyre-beading failures to winch-assisted recoveries, it was a battle of traction, teamwork, and guts.

We end Part 1 with breathtaking views from the cliffs above the Orange River, watching the sun set over the South African–Namibian border. But this is just the beginning…

Subscribe to follow the rest of the journey – 3 more days of wild terrain, harder climbs, and even bigger challenges await.
