As far as double ugly passes, is MERRILL PASS in Alaska in the top ten for North America.....??? Worth reading (in my opinion) https://www.alaskahistory.org/...merrill-russel-hyde/ ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila). | ||

I have flown through that pass 9 times, and that includes both directions. It is the most frightening pass I have delt with. Especially going west to east. The 90-degree turn looks like a aircraft junkyard. I wonder if anyone has made a video of transitioning that pass...?? ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN".
