Great climb! Doable even for an inexperienced climber. Cassette 11/28 with that I could ride up pretty well :D Nowhere really very steep sections. Nice and even uphill. Ride up the climb from Ribes. State of the road surface is not 100%. Occasional loose gravel, therefore at the top of the climb turn left down to planzolles. Beautiful road downhill, a billiard sheet!

Geweldige klim! ook voor een niet ervaren klimmer goed te doen. Cassette 11/28 daarmee kon ik wel goed naar boven rijden :D Nergens echt hele stijle stukken. Loopt mooi gelijkelijk omhoog. 1 a 2 auto’s tegen gekomen in juni 2024. Klim omhoog rijden vanuit Ribes. Staat van het wegdek is niet 100%. Af en toe los grind, daarom bovenaan de klim links af naar planzolles naar beneden. Prachtige weg naar beneden, een biljartlaken!

Very nice climb from Ribes! Wooded and narrow road with hardly any traffic. I would not take this as a descent. At the top, turn left to a fantastic descent towards Planzolles, recommended!

Erg leuke klim vanuit Ribes! Bosrijk en smalle weg met nauwelijks verkeer. Ik zou deze niet als afdaling pakken. Bovenaan sla je linksaf naar een fantastische afdaling richting Planzolles, aanradertje!
