Like any iconic climb, this one has something special at the top namely the mast that you can spot from afar. Crossing the little river Le Burnot, you start the winding climb on rough but ok tarmac. The percentages are a bit less pronounced than its brother the east side. After briefly crossing this other side you start the last part of the climb on very poor surface, however, climbing well on a normal road bike. Don't forget to take a look at the view a bit further up the summit!
Zoals elke iconische klim heeft ook deze iets speciaals op de top namelijk de mast die je al van ver kan spotten. Het riviertje Le Burnot overstekend begin je op ruw maar ok asfalt aan de slingerende klim. De percentages zijn wat minder uitgesproken dan zijn broer de Oost-kant. Na even deze andere zijde gekruist te hebben begin je aan het laatste deel van de klim op zeer slechte ondergrond, echter klimmend goed te doen met gewone racefiets. Vergeet niet even naar het uitzicht te kijken even verder op de top!
Nice climb, with the first few switchbacks almost reminiscent of a mountain road. Good quality surface on the first part, with little traffic. The second part is much harder, with a narrow road (be careful when crossing with cars coming down, fortunately they are usually very friendly with bikes). And superb view of the whole upper Meuse valley if you get off the bike and walk to the paragliding take-off point!
Chouette ascension, dont les premiers lacets du pied font presque penser à une route de montagne. Revêtement de bonne qualité sur la première partie, avec peu de trafic. Deuxième partie nettement plus dure, avec route étroite (attention lors du croisement avec des voitures qui descendent, heureusement elles sont en général très cordiales avec les vélos). Et superbe vue sur toute la vallée amont de la Meuse si on descend du vélo et qu'on se rend à pied au point d'envol de parapentes !
