pica can go up, but the cornering are almost all 45 degree one. March i managed to go up. If can borrow safety lock then bring. keep all expensive gadets at home. If not familar with the road, pls drive in the day. check tyres one day before u travel.

Going up is easy, but u gotta be careful when coming down (make sure u can juggle well between ur foot brake n engine brake)

use engine brake appropriately but not too much...if not u may get clutch burn...
too much engine brake -> clutch burn too much foot brake -> brake pads burn
gotta have experience...if u're not a lao jiao driver better train more first...

Clutch burnt? Gosh didnt hear that before. Always thought that it is best to use engine breake rather than peedal brake to prevent the overheating of breakpads. This is something new to me. Quite scary if it really happens.

Going down try not to exceed 80km/hr. 30-50 on gradual bend shd be ok. highest gear to use is 4th. auto shd use 1 gear lower to prevent excessive braking.

saw new pica also went up. Its whether u dare or not. becuz i believe some of us drive up, everyday in genting also worry my car still there or not, got any damages or not. can't really enjoy much. paiseh i those kind who get worry quite a bit. 5k click i think is the minimum to make sure the car is in working order. but i 2k then went up liao. Lucky nothing happened.
