La route a été refaites, ce sont des petits pavés rectangulaires très faciles à rouler! Par contre, les pourcentages sont dingues, à faire au moins une fois!... read more

The road has been resurfaced with small rectangular cobbles that are very easy to ride! On the other hand, the gradients are insane - do them at least once!

If you have to give the definition of a Liège climb you can just refer to this. Bad road surface, ridiculously steep and even on the descent you are not at ease for a moment. The road is really bad though, with only half the bricks left on the road and then a puzzle of tarmac and gravel in between. Would recommend doing it once, but definitely get slightly wider tyres here, if only for that descent afterwards.

Als je de definitie van een Luikse klim moet geven kan je gewoon hier naar verwijzen. Slecht wegdek, belachelijk steil en zelfs in de afdaling ben je niet even gerust. De weg ligt er wel heel slecht bij, met maar de helft van de klinkers nog op de weg en dan een puzzel van asfalt en grind ertussen door. Zou het aanraden om eens te doen, maar zorg zeker voor iets bredere banden hier, al is het maar voor die afdaling achteraf.

This is an abomination and on top of that on these rotten cobblestones ! As RobPolus says below or above, the sign that says 23％ doesn't lie and in rainy weather you have no choice but to stay in the saddle or you risk to pattinate. It's true that it's not cobblestones, the cobblestones make it a little easier, but it's still very steep. A unique climb that you must have done if you are a fan of calf bites, although you have to go through the gravel at the top. Either you climb further to and around the fortress (much gravel) or go left and limit the risks (little gravel).

Dit is een verschrikking en dan nog op van die rotklinkers ! Gelijk RobPolus hieronder of boven zegt, het bordje dat 23％ aangeeft liegt er niet om en bij regenweer kan je niet anders dan blijven zitten in het zadel of je riskeert te pattineren. Het zijn inderdaad geen kasseien, de klinkers maken het er iets gemakkelijker op, maar het blijft gewoon vies stijl. Een unieke klim die je beslist gedaan moet hebben als je fan bent van kuitenbijters, al moet je bovenaan wel door het grind. Ofwel klim je verder naar en rond het fort (veel grind) ofwel ga je linksaf en beperk je de risico's (weinig grind).

What a steep thing! At the foot there is a sign of 23％! This is not an exaggeration. It's not really cobblestones. It is more like something between a vowel and a cobblestone. It was dry and yet my wheel slipped every now and then. I can imagine that some people might have difficulties in rainy weather. Pay attention during the descent. First part is unpaved but doable. After that paved +20％ downhill. Not so ideal. If you like sleigh rides, this one is a real must! If not, stay away.

Wat een steil ding! Aan de voet staat een bord van 23％! Dit is niet overdreven. Het zijn niet echt kasseien. Eerder iets tussen een klinker en een kassei in. Het was droog en toch slipte m'n wiel af en toe door. Kan me inbeelden dat sommigen bij regenweer moeilijkheden zouden kunnen hebben. Wel opletten bij de afdaling. Eerste stukje is onverhard maar goed te doen. Daarna verhard +20％ naar beneden. Niet zo ideaal dus. Als je van sleile dingen houdt is deze een echte must! Zoniet, wegblijven.
