A demanding climb, you immediately reach high gradients and the 100m at 20% appears like a real wall. It's clearly advisable to have a suitable mechanical (it wasn't easy with my Claris 2x8 speed, 50/34 at the front, 11-32 at the rear...).
The tarmac is in decent condition, but it deteriorates as you go along the route (which starts to descend a little once you reach the summit).
If you decide to turn back, be careful on the descent, as you pick up speed very quickly; what's more, it ends with a 90° bend. In wet weather, I think it's much better to descend on foot (as I did).

Note that the ascent is one-way. There's very little traffic as you pass under the railway line and enter the forest (very few dwellings for 1km), but be careful.
It's the 5th steepest climb in the PACA region, so it's well worth the diversions, but note that there's little change in altitude in the surrounding area.

Montée exigeante, on arrive tout de suite dans des pourcentages élevés et les 100m à 20% apparaissent comme un véritable mur. Il est clairement recommandé d'avoir une mécanique adaptée (ça n'a pas été simple avec mon Claris 2x8 vitesses, 50/34 à l'avant, 11-32 à l'arrière...).
Le bitume est dans un état correct, mais il se dégrade au fur et à mesure du chemin (qui se met à descendre un peu une fois le sommet atteint).
Si vous décidez de faire demi-tour, attention à la descente, on prend très rapidement de la vitesse ; de plus, celle-ci se termine par un virage à 90°. Par temps de pluie, je pense qu'il est largement préférable de descendre à pied (comme ce fut mon cas).

A noter que la montée se fait en sens interdit. Il y a très très peu de circulation car on passe sous la voie ferrée et que l'on arrive dans la forêt (peu d'habitation sur 1km), mais restez prudents.
C'est la 5ème montée la plus raide de la région PACA, elle peut donc valoir le détour, mais à noter qu'il y a peu de dénivelé aux alentours.
