Long tempo climb, useful to do intervals on, with a punchy end

Not the very best climb, but nice to set a steady pace.
Lots of traffic.

Good tempo climb with a bouncer at the end. Never really heavy but suitable for jacking off on the big plate.

Nicer (read: nicer environment) than the variant that starts from Landskouter. Feels on the whole more constant (except for the steeper end).

Yet a tough calf-biter where you can really go all the way up the steep part at the end. The wind can be strong here, but getting up is never a problem.
