This is a tough climb though, average doesn't say everything, in the hairpins much steeper than that 7% that do start to hurt after a while

A fairly brutal climb for an average cyclist in the September blistering heat with a 34 cassette. The last 3km is tough going. Bar at the top offers friendly service.
A beautiful climb - steady with plenty of switchbacks. We did it fairly early before it got too hot.

Honestly, not completely finished, due to lack of time, but the first 2/3rds were already very nice! Switchback galore!
Eerlijk gezegd, niet helemaal afgemaakt, vanwege tijdgebrek, maar de eerste 2/3de was al heel mooi! Switchback-galore!
