A climb which actually consists of 3 parts: the first part on the big road where you have to watch out for passing cars, the second part on the much quieter Fonds Delvaux where the road surface is really not as bad as indicated, and a third part (Rue Tigneux-Boni) where you have to briefly cross a wall. Here I suffered more than I would like to admit, but with a little reserve you can survive this steep part. And if that wasn't hard enough for you, just ride the Triple Mur du Monty a few times! ;)
Klim die eigenlijk uit 3 delen bestaat: het eerste stuk over de grote baan waar je al wel voor voorbijrazende auto's moet oppassen, het tweede stuk op de veel rustigere Fonds Delvaux waarbij het wegdek echt niet zo slecht is als aangegeven, en een derde stuk (Rue Tigneux-Boni) waar je kort nog even over een muur moet. Hier heb ik toch harder afgezien dan ik zou willen toegeven, maar mits een beetje reserve overleef je dit steil stukje ook wel. En als dat niet zwaar genoeg voor je was rijdt je de Triple Mur du Monty maar een paar keer op ! ;)
This road takes you out of the Meuse valley and up into the hills. Unfortunately, the first part of the route is on a busy road, which you leave after one kilometre to take another road with much less traffic. When you reach the summit, you have to leave this road and take another one on the right. The summit is in sight but after a short but steep wall at 13％
Route qui permet de quitter la vallée de la Meuse et de se retrouver sur les hauteurs. Malheureusement, la première partie se déroule sur une route fort fréquentée, qu'on quitte après un km pour emprunter une autre route avec nettement moins de trafic. Arrivé presque au sommet, il faut quitter cette route et en emprunter une autre qui se trouve sur la droite. Le sommet est en vue mais après un mur à bref mais raide à 13％
