Honestly I thought I was pretty well trained and fortunately because what a slap.

Hot: But what a violent beauty this climb is! No respite and a real risk of explosion. Honestly I thought I was pretty well trained and fortunately because what a slap. Be careful with your power to weight ratio, if like me you are a bit limited (I'm 75kg) you risk suffering unnecessarily. The setting at the top is magnificent and worth a stop. And there is a shop with biscuits made on the spot (well as a baker I'm not a fan, the recipe should be changed, but that's another subject). Water supply at the shop (except in winter). Very little traffic in the cul de sac. My first discovery thanks to ClimbFinder, thanks to the site!
A chaud : Mais quelle beauté violente cette montée! Aucun répit et risque d’explosion bien réel. Sincèrement je pensais être plutôt pas mal entraîné et heureusement car quelle claque. Attention à votre rapport poids puissance, si comme moi vous êtes un peu limite (je fais 75kg) vous risquez de souffrir inutilement. Le cadre arrivé en haut est magnifique et vaut le coup d’une petite halte. Et il y a la boutique de biscuits faits sur place ( Bon en tant que boulanger je suis pas fan, faudrait faire évoluer la recette, mais c’est un autre sujet). Ravitaillement en eau à la boutique ( sauf l’hiver). Très peu de trafic ça cul de sac. Ma première découverte grâce à ClimbFinder, merci le site!
What a stronghold! Long stretches at 15/16％. The rest oscillates between 12; 13％!
But the climb is beautiful even if the surface is not great.
To be done, for sure!
Sacré bastion !! De longues portions à 15/16％. Le reste oscille entre 12 ; 13％!
Mais la montee est belle même si le revêtement est pas terrible.
A faire, c'est sûr !
Very hard, especially when you have no development...What a relief to get to the top and what a satisfaction to have crossed those passages at over 15％!
Très dur, surtout quand on a pas de développement...Quel soulagement d'arriver en haut et quel satisfaction d'avoir franchis ces passages à plus de 15％ !
One of the local terrors, with the Bastille of Grenoble. The percentages on the graph are sufficiently revealing... Very small gear ratios are essential to be able to taste the excellent biscuits made by the nuns of the Chalais monastery at the summit :-)
Une des terreurs locales, avec la Bastille de Grenoble. Les pourcentages du graphique sont suffisamment parlants… Tout petits braquets indispensables pour pouvoir goûter aux excellents biscuits fabriqués par les religieuses du monastère de Chalais au sommet :-)
