For this climb you also get Cotacol points, but you have to ride all the way to the end, and there the road is unpaved. Moreover, the road leads nowhere, and if you don't just turn back at the top, you have to follow the unpaved road all the way to the road to Cielle, which is more for MTB or gravel bikes. Up to the pretty village of Marcouray there is a nice climb, although you mainly cycle between houses and meadows. Coming from the bridge over the Ourthe, you first have a chicane and then immediately some steep parts. Don't start the climb too enthusiastically, as it may take longer than you would think. It's handy to use the GPX, though, because as you ride through two villages there are a lot of different streets. Since you are definitely going in the red here, it is not easy to pay attention to the road here as well.

Voor deze klim krijg je ook Cotacolpunten, maar dan moet je wel helemaal tot het einde rijden, en daar is de weg onverhard. De weg leidt bovendien nergens naartoe, als je bovenaan niet gewoon wel terugkeren, moet je de onverharde weg een heel einde volgen om dan op de weg naar Cielle uit te komen, en dat is toch meer iets voor de MTB of gravelbike. Tot in het mooie dorpje Marcouray is het wel leuk klimmen, al fiets je vooral tussen de huizen en weides. Als je van de brug over de Ourthe komt, heb je eerst een chicane en daarna volgen onmiddelijk enkele steile stukken. Begin niet te enthousiast aan de klim, want hij duurt misschien langer dan je zou denken. Het is wel handig om de GPX te gebruiken, want aangezien je door twee dorpjes rijdt zijn er heel wat verschillende straatjes. Aangezien je hier zeker in het rood gaat, is het hier niet eenvoudig om ook op de weg te letten.
