The upper part of Blithedale Ridge (from where it connects with HKEK) has a couple of spots which are just about the steepest sections of roads on the mountain. This time of year, it's dry, dusty and very loose. There are a couple spots where if you did go "off piste", you'd have a while to think about what you did before you started hitting stuff.
