Enormous... you can do it for fun, but you won't get much enjoyment out of it because it's very, very steep...
By comparison, the striped one looks easy...

Énorme... à faire pour s'amuser mais peu de plaisir car c'est très très raide...
A côté, la rayée paraît facile...

A hellish climb, even if it doesn't last very long. A little scare, when the front wheel lifts up sometimes! That's when you have to be careful :-) Road in very average condition! Bracket 34x30, it was hard! I went back down to Gerardmer by the D 486, because braking was not guaranteed due to the gravel and the steepness of the slope in places. This climb reminds me of the Col de la Loze in Savoie. To be done if you have the level and the right gear!

Montée infernale, même si ça ne dure pas très longtemps. Petite frayeur, lorsque la roue avant se lève parfois ! C'est là qu'il faut ménager sa monture :-) Route en état très moyen ! Braquet 34x30, c'était hard ! Je suis redescendu vers Gerardmer par la D 486, car freinage non garanti du fait des gravillons et de la forte déclivité par endroit. Cette ascension me rappelle le col de la Loze en Savoie. A faire si on a le niveau et le bon braquet !

What a beast! This climb actually "only" has a length of 1.1 km at an average of 13.3 %. So don't miss out on the average of only 8.5% on Climbfinder because that includes a piece of descent 🤷🏻♂️.

The bad road surface with lots of bumps, pits and some gravel here and there makes it even more challenging.

I rode up this road that day (after already a lot of km's in my legs) at an average of only 8 km/h 😳...
But it can be faster 🥳!
Those who want to grab the KOM on Strava will have to ride faster than 12 km/h.
Good luck 😉 !

Wat een beest! Deze klim heeft eigenlijk “maar” een lengte van 1,1 km aan een gemiddelde van 13,3 %. Mispak je dus niet aan het gemiddelde van maar 8,5% op Climbfinder want daar zit een stuk afdaling bij 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Het slechte wegdek met veel hobbels, putten en hier en daar wat kiezelsteentjes maakt het nog eens extra uitdagend.

Ik reed die dag (na al heel wat km’s in de benen) deze weg naar boven aan een gemiddelde van maar 8 km/u 😳…
Maar het kan sneller 🥳!
Wie de KOM wil pakken op Strava zal sneller dan 12 km/u moeten rijden.
Succes 😉!
