Descending this climb means paying close attention as there are some spots that can be hard. But you won't be bothered by those on the climb.
The climb is almost entirely on a straight road (at the right turn, you are almost already at the top). The profile is less regular than indicated because at first it rises nicely, then there is a flatter section after which it rises very fast towards the bend.

Deze klim afdalen betekent goed opletten want er zitten enkele plekken die hard aan kunnen komen. Maar daar heb je bij de klim geen last van.
De klim loopt vrijwel geheel over een rechte weg (bij de bocht naar rechts ben je vrijwel al boven). Het profiel is minder regelmatig dan aangegeven want stijgt eerst lekker, dan volgt een vlakker gedeelte waarna het heel hard oploopt richting de bocht. Ik schat op het allersteilste gedeelte zo'n 14-15％ en aangezien dat op het eind zit voel je dat echt wel.

The Geldenberg is compulsory fare if you wander in the Reichswald. Firstly because there are so few paths in this forest anyway, and then because it is a quiet, beautiful climb. The silence. You discover how crowded it can be on the climbs on the Nijmegen side.
Doesn't matter much which side you take. This side is the steeper variant, less pretty than from Frasselt.
Road surface on two sides moderate. Goes quite well on a road bike if you pay attention.
De Geldenberg is verplichte kost als je in het Reichswald dwaalt. Ten eerste omdat er zo wie zo weinig paden zijn in dit bos, en dan omdat het een rustige, mooie klim is. De stilte. Je ontdekt hoe druk het op de klimmetjes aan Nijmeegse zijde kan zijn.
Maakt niet veel uit welke kant je neemt. Deze kant is de steilere variant, minder fraai dan vanuit Frasselt.
Wegdek aan twee kanten matig. Gaat best met de racefiets als je oplet.

Beautiful climb with a very moderate strip of tarmac as a carpet. On the other hand, in the earliest and latest hours with sunlight, the forest gives a fairytale appearance. Personally, I like this one better than the Kartenspielerweg.
Prachtige beklimming met een zeer matig strookje asfalt als tapijt. Daar staat tegenover dat het bos in de vroegste en laatste uren met zonlicht een sprookjesachtige aanblik geeft. Persoonlijk vind ik deze leuker dan de Kartenspielerweg.

Very nice climb. As mentioned earlier, the tarmac is bad at the beginning but gets better as the climb progresses. When you've had the steep part, you think you're at the top but then comes the faint bend where it continues to climb for a while. Doable on a gravel bike though!
Zeer leuke klim. Zoals eerder benoemd is het asfalt wel slecht aan het begin maar wordt gedurende de klim beter. Wanneer je het steile stuk hebt gehad, denk je dat je boven bent maar dan komt nog de flauwe bocht waar het nog even door stijgt. Met de gravelbike echter goed te doen!

Fairly steep straight line in the Reichswald on deserted typical Foersterweg. The tarmac is indeed very bad before the climb starts, but you can slalom around it reasonably well. When the climb starts, the quality of the asphalt is more than sufficient. This side of the climb has more climbing points, because it has slightly steeper sections. The other side is much nicer with some nice bends in it. Just after the descent, the road surface changes to gravel of good quality for a few hundred meters.
Redelijk steile rechte streep in het Reichswald op verlaten typische Foersterweg. Het asfalt is inderdaad erg slecht voordat de klim begint, maar je kunt er redelijk omheen slalommen. Als de klim begint, is het asfalt juist van ruim voldoende kwaliteit. Deze kant van de klim heeft weliswaar meer klimpunten, omdat het iets steilere stukken bevat. De andere kant vind ik echter veel mooier met een paar mooie bochten er in. Vlak na de afdaling gaat het wegdek een paar honderd meter over in gravel van prima kwaliteit.
4 star climb, but unfortunately the road surface has really deteriorated. This side of the climb is doable with a road bike, but definitely not comfortable. Do not descend on a road bike (or be very, very careful) on the other side, as you will hit a section of very loose gravel at full speed...
You don't need special gearing for Geldenberg from Kleve. The slope isn't long or steep enough to require much shifting down. You can conquer this climb on power alone. However, a compact gearing system with a smallest front chainring of 34 and largest rear sprocket of 28 or 30 is always nice if you enjoy cycling uphill. This helps maintain a smooth cadence.
Geldenberg from Kleve falls into the 5th category. With good fitness, you can ride it up with speed and power. If you have less training, shift down and climb smoothly.
