Nice climb I once did at the end of a round trip out of VGR: via Laguna Grande and Las Rosas from Vallehermoso back to the plateau and then fall back into VGR. Now I understand why I didn't have too much trouble with it then. Because I'm not a trained climber, I had to take a breather halfway up, but otherwise it's okay. Because the climb is on the north side of La Gomera, you have nice shade on this road. By the way, if you are on La Gomera, all the climbs are 5-stars: if you ar... read more

Nice climb I once did at the end of a round trip out of VGR: via Laguna Grande and Las Rosas from Vallehermoso back to the plateau and then fall back into VGR. Now I understand why I didn't have too much trouble with it then. Because I'm not a trained climber, I had to take a breather halfway up, but otherwise it's okay. Because the climb is on the north side of La Gomera, you have nice shade on this road.
By the way, if you are on La Gomera, all the climbs are 5-stars: if you are there anyway, don't miss them.

Lekkere klim die ik ooit op het einde van een rondje uit VGR deed: via Laguna Grande en Las Rosas vanuit Vallehermoso weer naar het plateau en dan terugvallen in VGR. Snap nu waarom ik er niet al te veel moeite mee had toen. Omdat ik geen getrainde klimmer ben, moest ik halverwege even uitblazen, maar verder loopt hij wel. Omdat de klim aan de noordkant van La Gomera ligt, heb je lekker wat schaduw op deze weg. Je hebt prachtig uitzicht over de rare geologie van het eiland en de terrassen voor land- en wijnbouw.
Overigens, als je op La Gomera bent, zijn alle klimmen 5-sterren: als je er toch bent, mag je ze niet missen.
