A really good climb. Maybe not quite as difficult as the rating would suggest but the first 5 to 6 km is consistently 12%. Save some energy in the legs for the final ramp up to the radio mast.

I do not know why it is suggested that it is possible to ride it on a road bike. You wouldn't even get to the top on road tires let alone stay on your bike on the descent. The last 500 m vertical are on inconsistent and often very lumpy gravel. A gravel bike is a must.
