Very steady climb, little shade, especially on the second half. Magnificent view from the summit

A steady climb in a mountain setting from Loudenvielle. The first pass of the "Mythique" loop.

As it was the third climb of the day, after Port de Balès and the Col de Peyresourde, I had a hard time getting up. Like most profiles, while mathematically sound, you'll be surprised by the 10+ ％ stretches you face. Higher up, the views are amazing looking down. Small restaurant at the summit, just off the track, but no souvenirs. Flying descend towards Campan.
