As the others have said, this climb is unpaved. I don't see this as a reason to give it a low score. If you're riding on a road bike you should definitely avoid this climb and take the Lazarijstraat.
When you're riding a MTB or gravel bike you should absolutely give it a go.
Indeed, this one is unpaved. There are better sides to choose from here: Rodeberg, Kruisstraat, Cauberg, Langenberg, Broekstraat or, of course, the Poggio.
Inderdaad, deze is onverhard. Hier zijn betere kanten voor te kiezen: Rodeberg, Kruisstraat, Cauberg, Langenberg, Broekstraat of, uiteraard, de Poggio.
You think first 'where am I now again driven into', then you think what am I doing. Not really responsible on a road bike to do with the loose surface and stones, I would recommend 'm to take the Lazarijstraat and to take it to the right (up), then you come to the same point (also a piece unpaved but flat and easy to do).
Je denkt eerst 'waar ben ik nu weer ingereden', daarna denk je ook wat ben ik aan het doen. Niet echt verantwoord op een racefiets te doen met de losse ondergrond en stenen, ik zou 'm aanraden de Lazarijstraat te pakken en die naar rechts (omhoog) te pakken, dan kom je bij hetzelfde punt uit (ook een stukje onverhard maar vlak en goed te doen).
