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.
