A shortcut to the Grosse Scheidegg from Grindelwald. I started this climb with a heavy heart. Especially the kilometres past the halfway point worried me because of the monstrous profile. My fears were well-founded. After minutes of wandering around with percentages of 18 to 22, all power and speed (or rather slowness) disappeared from my legs and I had to put my foot down. A few minutes of walking, however, made me enjoy the beautiful surroundings even more. Beyond the top began the (partly unpaved) 'Panoramastrasse' which certainly has not stolen its name. Later, I learned that this is actually a MTB-climb, which I can imagine :)
Een shortcut naar de Grosse Scheidegg vanuit Grindelwald. Met een bang hartje deze klim aangevat. Vooral de kilometers iets voorbij halverwege baarde me zorgen gezien het monsterlijk profiel. Mijn vrees was gegrond. Na minutenlang zwalpen bij percentages van 18% tot 22% verdween alle kracht & snelheid (of eerder traagheid) uit de benen en moest ik voet aan grond zetten. Enkele minuten wandelen deed me echter nog meer genieten van de oogstrelende omgeving. Voorbij de top begon de (deels onverharde) 'Panoramastrasse', wat z'n naam zeker niet gestolen heeft. Later vernam ik dat dit in feite een MTB-klim is, wat ik me best kan inbeelden :)
