You should do this climb for its history, of course. But it is not really beautiful, it is hard ;-). The view is very nice, of course.

Deze klim moet je vanwege de historie natuurlijk doen. Maar écht mooi is het niet, zwaar wel ;-). Het uitzicht is erg mooi natuurlijk.

I confirm that this climb is formidable, it is better to have good legs on the day of the climb for my part the 1st part remains difficult then when you turn left after the barrier you have to be solid to get to the top
But at the top the show is magnificent and above all what happiness to have arrived at the top

Je confirme cette ascension est redoutable il vaut mieux avoir les bonnes jambes le jour de la montée pour ma par la 1er partie reste difficile ensuite lorsque l on tourne à gauche après la barrière il faut être solide pour arriver en haut
Mais en haut le spectacle est magnifique et surtout quel bonheur d être arrivé en haut

Beautiful climb. A real battle of attrition. Don't go up if your legs have already taken a beating. Chances are that you will end up parked. The length of the steep sections makes it almost impossible for the average cyclist to get to the top without dismounting. A real ordeal!

Mooie klim. Een ware uitputtingslag. Niet opgaan als de benen al flink ervan langs hebben gekregen. Kans is groot dat je dan geparkeerd komt te staan. De lengte van de steile gedeelten maken het voor de gemiddelde wielertoerist een bijna onmogelijke opgave om zonder af te stappen boven te komen. Echt afzien dus!

Ik kan nu wel een heel epistel schrijven over hoe mooi deze klim is, maar beelden zegen meer dan woorden. Zie hier de laatste kilometers van het wedstrijdverslag van de 9e etappe uit de Vuelta van 2015, waar Dumoulin Froome en Rodriguez klopt. Kippenvel.
