Climb from Port Magee with a long straight section on a fairly narrow road whose tarmac quality is not super. The climb for a large only goes straight. A bit boring, then. But there are buts: 1. Halfway up are the Cliffs of Kerry. Turning off here and witnessing these cliffs makes this climb very special. 2.

Climb from Port Magee with a long straight section on a fairly narrow road whose tarmac quality is not super. The climb for a large only goes straight. A bit boring, then. But there are buts:
1. Halfway up are the Cliffs of Kerry. Turning off here and witnessing these cliffs makes this climb very special.
2. Once you arrive at the top, after a ridiculously steep last kilometre, you are rewarded for a second time with insanely beautiful views.
The descent of this climb, due to the steep part, does require careful watching. Many tourists come here to look at the cliffs and the tarmac is not great. So squeeze the brakes well.

Klim vanuit Port Magee met een lang recht stuk over een vrij smalle weg waarvan de kwaliteit van het asfalt niet super is. De klim gaat gedurende een groot alleen maar recht. Een beetje saai dus. Maar er zijn maren:
1. Halverwege liggen de Cliffs of Kerry. Hier even afslaan en deze kliffen aanschouwen maakt deze klim erg bijzonder.
2. Eenmaal aangekomen op de top, na een ridicuul steile laatste kilometer, wordt je voor een tweede maal beloond met waanzinnig mooi uitzicht.
De afdaling van deze klim is wegens het steile gedeelte het wel zaak goed uit te kijken. Veel toeristen komen hier naar de kliffen kijken en het asfalt is zoals gezegd niet super. Goed in de remmen knijpen dus.
