Great on a sunny day as in your pic, not such fun in the rain with the roads awash.
The road up was a nightmare due to the cascading rainfall,the hairpins were the main problem, and the sight of my car slipping and sliding round the corners made for a hilarious sight for the patiently waiting drivers wanting to come down!

The sign says it all!

The only way is down

Fantastic road,fantastic scenery, and not to be missed

If it's on the UK8 route you want to break the run up into groups of 2/3 cars max, the passing points will not accommodate any more, and the pass will jam up.
