This is just about the quietest col I've ever climbed. Magnificent. At first, the cover of trees - after you have unconsciously passed Ardeches best goat cheese dairy - provides some coolness in the steep part, but soon the road meanders past bleating sheep in green meadows, and in the middle of the col you even come across a little house lonely inhabited by a Belgian lady. Incomparable, this Chap del Bosque. Sublime.
Dit is zowat de stilste col die ik ooit heb beklommen. Schitterend. In het begin zorgt de dekking van de bomen - nadat je onbewust eerst Ardeches beste geitenkazenmakerij gepasseerd bent - voor koelte in het steile gedeelte, maar al snel meandert de weg langs blatende schapen in groene weides en kom je in het midden van de col zowaar een huisje eenzaam bewoond door een Belgische dame tegen. Onvergelijkbaar, deze Chap del Bosque. Subliem.
