Pics and a video I made while I was driving through there this week in the semi. Click on any pic for a much larger view. The 4th pic down and the 6th are of the same view, one is magnified the other is an overall view.
I saw that one on a TV documentary last year sometime, pretty crazy. The scariest drive I've ever been on in a semi was on a HUGE mountain range in southern Mexico. A 2-lane road, my mirror was hitting the mirrors of other trucks as we passed each going different directions because the road was SO narrow, the truck did not fit in the lane. There was an at least 1,000 foot drop off - no guard rails btw - on my right side, a lane on the other side of me with a sheer cliff on the other side of that. I have no idea what percentage grade it was, but it was AT LEAST 7%, if not much more than that.
