I took the steep descent at the beginning, and like it says in the description, you just have to be in the mood for it. For the rest I didn't find it a particularly beautiful climb but that may have had something to do with the fact that I was already at the end of my rope.... read more

Not as beautiful as the Chambralles for me, the climb consists of long straight parts and I also had more traffic than expected. You can find your pace very well because the percentage stays the same for such a long time, and indeed also a beautiful view at the top.

Niet even mooi als de Chambralles voor mij, de klim bestaat uit lange rechte stukken en ik had ook meer verkeer dan verwacht. Je kan wel heel goed een tempo vinden doordat het percentage zo lang hetzelfde blijft, en inderdaad ook een mooi uitzicht boven.

Difficult if you have to compete with La Redoute in the same valley. Still, I think it's the 2nd best way to climb in that direction - nicer than, say, the nearby Cote de Fraiture.

Moeilijk als je in dezelfde vallei moet concurreren met La Redoute. Toch vind ik deze de 2de mooiste manier om in die richting weg te klimmen - mooier dan pakweg de nabijgelegen cote de fraiture.

Most tours go from top to bottom to conquer the "Chambralles". The climb is not very nice but runs well, with hairpin bends. For variety.

De meeste tochten gaan van boven naar beneden om de "Chambralles" te bedwingen. De klim is niet heel mooi maar loopt wel lekker, met haarspeld bochten. Voor de afwisseling.

Ik heb zelf de steile afsteek genomen aan het begin, en zoals het al staat in de beschrijving, je moet er maar zin in hebben. Verder vond ik het zelf geen bijzonder mooie klim maar dat kan er ook mee te maken hebben dat ik zelf al een beetje aan het einde van mijn latijn was

Very steady climb on a quiet road with a good surface... good warm up before going to the redoubt

Montée très régulière sur une route calme avec un bon revêtement... bon échauffement avant d’aller faire la redoute

Would just turn right at the last intersection to sprimont and leave those last altimeters for what they are, unless you really want to do the gravel descent.

Zou gewoon bij het laatste kruispunt rechtsaf slaan naar sprimont en die laatste hoogtemeters laten voor wat ze zijn, of je moet idd de gravel afdaling willen doen

For the non-grave lovers: turn around at the top.

Voor de niet-gravelliefhebbers: bovenaan omkeren.
