It is a beautiful climb. Very quiet in terms of traffic, the tarmac is of poorer quality though, lots of gravel and some potholes. Good to remember when descending the same way.
Nature is beautiful, many flowers and the butterflies fly with you (I don't climb that fast 😉 ).

Nice detail: in Batie des fonds is the start of the drôme river, which starts from a kind of tap to the left of the road, then flows over the road (through a metal gutter) , so you just cycle through it in the climb

The climb is doable. There is a sign every KM with the height and average gradient for that km. (But that didn't match what my Garmin indicated in terms of gradient. I also filmed the climb (for the enthusiast, you can see it on https://videos.kinomap.com/en/watch/cebydt this video takes 45 minutes, but then you can also see exactly what to expect).

Het is een prachtige beklimming. Erg rustig qua verkeer, het asfalt is wel van mindere kwaliteit, veel grind en enkele gaten. Goed om te onthouden als je dezelfde kant afdaalt.
De natuur is prachtig, vele bloemen en de vlinders vliegen met je mee (ik klim niet zo snel 😉).

Leuk detail: in Batie des fonds is het begin van de rivier de drôme, die start uit een soort kraantje links van de weg, stroomt dan over de weg (door een metalen gootje) , waar je dus in de klim gewoon doorheen fietst

De klim is goed te doen. Er staat elke KM een bordje met de hoogte en de gemiddelde stijging voor die km. (Maar dat klopte niet met wat mijn Garmin aangaf qua hellingspercentage. Ik heb de beklimming ook gefilmd (voor de liefhebber te zien op https://videos.kinomap.com/en/watch/cebydt deze video duurt 45 minuten, maar dan kan je ook exact zien wat je kunt verwachten).
