This climb with its terribly steep parts seems to bring you to the end of the world. On the way, except for a few cows and wild horses, you won't encounter a living soul. In an oasis of peace and quiet you climb to the top. A must for those who like masochistic tendencies!

Deze klim met verschrikkelijke steile stukken lijkt je naar het einde van de wereld te brengen. Onderweg kom je uitgezonderd enkele koeien en wilde paarden namelijk geen levende ziel tegen. In een oase van rust klauter je bijgevolg naar de top. Toppertje voor diegene die graag masochistische trekjes hebben!

Tough little climb. It's doesn't look much as you're riding on the main road, but you turn off and onto Ermita, past the sign showing the climb details and then head up. It's very varied and twists around, so you can't get into a rhythm, and the surface is not great - pretty sure this is just for tractors and farm traffic. Tackling this at over 10% the whole way is a task!

At the top it's a dead end and a few nice views.

Simply a terrible thing with basically constant double figures and the only plus is that it is not too long with just not 7 km but enough to literally and figuratively break down.
Frederico Bahamontes, José Manuel Fuente, Jose Luis Abilleira, Andres Oliva, Alberto Fernandez and many other Spanish climbers found their playground there in the Tour of Asturias and Tour of Spain but for their helpers it was a calvary.
With peaks up to 20% and steep turns, it is a must for those who love tough but not too long climbs. Make sure you can push small enough because even for experienced climbers it takes a while before you reach the top and just before the end there is a terrible km and piece.

Gewoonweg een verschrikkelijk ding met eigenlijk constant dubbele cijfers en het enige pluspunt is dat hij niet te lang is met juist geen 7 km maar genoeg om er letterlijk en figuurlijk op kapot
Frederico Bahamontes, José Manuel Fuente , Jose Luis Abilleira, Andres Oliva, Alberto Fernandez en vele andere Spaanse klimmers vonden er hun speeltuin in de ronde van Asturia en ronde van Spanje maar voor hun helpers een calvarietocht.
Met pieken tot 20% en steile bochten is hij een must voor de liefhebbers van zware maar niet te te lange beklimmingen. Zie dat je klein genoeg kan duwen want het duurt ook voor de geoefende klimmers een tijdje voor je boven bent en juist voor het einde is er een verschrikkelijke km en stuk.
