Prachtige klim. Meteen zie je dat je power moet gaan leveren om boven te komen. Gelukkig is er zeer weinig verkeer waardoor je maximaal kan genieten. Als je houdt van korte steile beklimmingen is deze een must.

This is a delightful climb! At the foot, you immediately see the main agony: the road seems to go up like a ski jump and peaks to percentages of against 15% according to my head unit. Then it becomes less steep (be honest: 10% is less steep than 15%!) and you get to push up against the mountainside for kilometres. The road remains quite narrow but the tarmac is fine and there is little traffic. You see the hairpin bends constantly above you and once you've had them all, you cycle into a bush and have reached the summit pretty quickly. Should you climb it on a hot day (like me), my advice is to do so 's evening (as I did not...), as there is very little shelter up to that bush at the very top. Highly recommended for lovers of steep climbs!

Dit is een heerlijke klim! Aan de voet zie je al direct de grootste lijdensweg: de weg lijkt wel als een springschans omhoog te gaan en piekt tot percentages van tegen de 15% volgens mijn head unit. Daarna wordt het minder steil (wees eerlijk: 10% is minder steil dan 15%!) en mag je kilometers lang tegen de bergwand opduwen. De weg blijft vrij smal maar het asfalt is prima en er is weinig verkeer. Je ziet de haarspeldbochten steeds boven je en als je die allemaal gehad hebt, fiets je een bosje in en heb je vrij snel de top bereikt. Mocht je deze op een warme dag beklimmen (zoals ik), dan is mijn advies om dat 's avonds te doen (zoals ik niet...), er is namelijk erg weinig beschutting tot aan dat bosje helemaal bovenaan. Echt een aanrader voor liefhebbers van steile beklimmingen!
