Spicy climb starting in the descent of the Col d'Ornon. The steep pentes fly around your ears and persist throughout the climb. Recuperating is hardly an option. On the way, you cycle mostly through a forest, so distractions are also minimal. It is toiling and raking to the top. Only in the finale are you rewarded with some views. Attention, the authentic col sign is located a little further down after a (steep) bit of descent.
Pittige beklimming die start in de afzink van de Col d'Ornon. De steile pentes vliegen je rond de oren en houden heel de klim aan. Recupereren is er nauwelijks bij. Onderweg fiets je veelal door een bos, waardoor de afleiding bovendien minimaal is. Het is zwoegen en harken tot boven. Enkel in het slot word je beloond met enkele uitzichten. Let op, het authentieke colbordje bevindt zich nog iets verder na een (steil) stukje afdaling.
Little traffic on this tough climb. Road surface is moderate and the gradients are not bad. You climb through a forest so not much view along the way, but once at the top you get the reward.
Weinig verkeer op deze pittige klim. Wegdek is matig en de stijgingspercentages liegen er niet om. Je klimt door een bos dus ook niet veel uitzicht onderweg, maar eenmaal boven krijg je die beloning alsnog.
Particularly challenging pass especially after 60km of cycling. Steep slope 11 to 12% according to the signs, all the way, with no real place to recover.
You can see the south side of Taillefer down the hill, otherwise the route is quite hidden by vegetation. Few vehicles. There is a water point 100m before the Angelas church.
Col particulièrement exigeant surtout après 60km de vélo. Pente raide 11 a 12% selon les panneaux, tout le long, sans véritable endroit pour se refaire.
On peut voir le côté sud du Taillefer en bas de la côte, sinon le parcours est assez caché par la végétation. Peu de véhicules. Il y a un point d'eau 100m avant l'église des Angelas
