Done this climb years ago, but rode on to Collada des Roques Blanches from what is given as the end point here. Up to what is given here as the end point, it is a narrow tarmac road with quite a lot of loose gravel, so watch out. Otherwise good and no potholes. Shortly afterwards, it becomes a dirt road where you may still encounter the occasional 4x4. The dirt road is good to ride, but too stony to do on a road bike. I did it myself on a touring bike with racing handlebars and 37mm tyres and that went fine. The last stretch is beautiful with wide views through a barren landscape. Just over, the dirt road splits without much indication. The left branch takes you via a dirt road to Coll de Mentets from where you then have asphalt again.

Jaren geleden deze klim gedaan, maar vanaf wat hier als eindpunt wordt gegeven doorgereden naar Collada des Roques Blanches. Tot wat hier als eindpunt wordt gegeven is het een smalle asfaltweg met nogal wat losse grindjes, dus opppassen. Verder wel goed en geen gaten. Kort daarna wordt het een onverharde weg waar je zo af en toe nog wel eens een 4x4 kan tegenkomen. De onverharde weg is goed te berijden, maar te stenig om op een racefiets te doen. Ik heb het zelf op een toerfiets met racestuur en 37mm banden gedaan en dat ging prima. Het laatste stuk is prachtig met een wijds uitzicht door een kaal landschap. Net over splits de onverharde weg zonder veel aanduiding. De linkertak brengt je via een onverharde weg naar Coll de Mentets vanaf waar jedan weer asfalt hebt.
