Not a very long climb, but the last few hundred metres go thick into the double digits.

Geen hele lange klim, maar de laatste paar honderd meter gaan dik in de dubbele cijfers.

Shorter and easier than the other side, but perhaps more beautiful.
The views of the mountain range are breathtaking, especially when the fog rolls in.
The end of the climb is hard on the calves, but that's kind of what we came here for.

Plus court, plus facile que son autre versant, mais peut-être plus beau.
Les vues sur la chaîne montagneuse sont saisissantes surtout quand la brume se met de la partie.
La fin de la montée croque bien les mollets mais on est un peu venus là pour ça.

Much cooler on this side than from the Vénières. The final wall at 17-18％ is the little bonus gift before the switchback.

Beaucoup plus cool de ce côté-ci que depuis les Vénières. Le mur final à 17-18％ est le petit cadeau bonus avant la bascule.
