i have been  up a few times in '72 van and '82 westy... oh wait, i
had swapped engines in the '82 from diesel to gas :)

I even remember driving up the road when it was just a logging/access
road until my '70 1200 beetle could push the snow no further, then
out on touring skis.

nowadays the road is paved and really is not that steep, as i recall
the steepest part is near the beginning.
