Just a Small Not from my Experience when I did Baboons Pass in 2017 With the Beach Buggy

The Pass have Really deteriorated from then 2017 to 2019

No more even Road at all

Lots of big boulders Sticking out that you need to try avoid

Still a nice Challange anf Enjoyd it

Martin is correct

RTH I rated close to Baboons when we did the pass beginning of the year as it had 2 big steps
Very loose rolling rocks and 2 areas you could very easy damage vehicles
as my bus was actually heavily loaded for a overland trip that made RTH difficult for me

But I will not do Baboons with my Syncro loaded as it was on RTH.

If you look at some of the Videos Martin posted of Wimpie how they had a hard time to get over the boulders - that gives you an idea


Baboons definitely in it's current state much worse than RTH.

In the Pic attached I took the straight up route on Goliath rock as I had the Vehicle to do it

Then I would want portal axles, and not a Unimog either, they are too wide.
