This rare gem, the "Wall of Brissago", it's worth doing!
Very steep climb that will grind your legs thoroughly.
As a sidenote; most of the climb is in the shadows of the forest, which is great especially during hot and sunny days. After the climb, you can restore yourself stopping by an Osteria located almost at the top of the climb.
