A tough climb that starts with percentages between 7 and 10%, once out of the centre of Ugine it gets a little less steep (5%-7%) and the traffic gets a little less busy. Until the intersection with Banges, then the traffic pretty much drops completely. (Not a single car passed by behind me during the whole climb). The stretch from Banges to Le Lierre does not get below 8% with regular stretches of 10 - 13%. After three quarters of the climb, the gradient becomes more runnable with 5 - 7 % which feels like relief. About 3 times I felt like I was at the top, but each time a higher stretch loomed behind the bend. It's a cloudy, dry day with temp around 20°C at the start of the climb. At the top what a chilly day with lots of wind. First I wanted to descend via the Mont Dessus side, but after some 350m this road discontinued due to huge amounts of gravel/stones and potholes on the road. This side is clearly not maintained/snow-free during winter. So then we took the back road as out. Once back at the crossroads of Banges we took the direction of Héry sur Ugine and then descended via the main road through the Gorges d'Arly to Ugine.

Een pittige klim die begint met percentages tussen 7 en 10%, eens uit het centrum van Ugine gaat het wat minder steil (5%-7%) en wordt het verkeer wat minder druk. Tot aan het kruispunt met Banges, dan valt het verkeer zowat helemaal weg. (geen enkele auto die langs achter me passeerde gedurende de hele klim). Het stuk van Banges tot aan Le Lierre komt niet onder de 8% met regelmatig stukken 10 - 13%. Na drie kwart van de klim wordt het stijgingspercentage wat meer lopend met 5 à 7 % wat aanvoelt als verademing. Een 3-tal keer had ik het idee boven te zijn, maar telkens doemde er een hoger stuk op achter de bocht. Het is een bewolkte, droge dag met aan het begin van de klim temp rond 20°C. Op de top wat het fris met veel wind. Eerst wilde ik afdalen via de Mont Dessus kant, maar na een 350 m deze weg gestaakt wegens enorm veel gravel/stenen en putten op de weg. Deze kant wordt tijdens de winter duidelijk niet onderhouden/sneeuwvrij gemaakt. Dus dan maar de terugweg als heen. Eens terug aan het kruispunt van Banges de richting Héry sur Ugine genomen en dan terug afgedaald via de hoofdweg die door de Gorges d'Arly loopt tot in Ugine.
