Unfortunately, the clouds accompanied me on the ascent, which ended in fog... It's a shame, though, as the view looked splendid all the way up. The road is fine, the only tricky bit is on the straight after the small descent, otherwise the climb is not very complicated. I understand that this is one of the region's must-dos, so I'll give it 4 stars until I get a clear view!

Malheureusement les nuages m'ont accompagné pendant l'ascension, terminée dans le brouillard... Dommage, car la vue a l'air splendide tout au long de la montée. La route est nickel, le seul passage difficile est dans la ligne droite après la petite descente, autrement la montée n'a rien de très compliqué. J'ai cru comprendre qu'il s'agissait d'un incontournable de la région, je mets 4 étoiles en attendant d'avoir une vue dégagée !

Felt like Bauke Mollema for a moment on this beautiful climb. Steepness changes constantly, but that makes it challenging. Started in San Sebastian and Hondarrabia was hard to find on the bike. Turn right after the descent, ride about 1 km and you come to a very picturesque village.

Waande me even Bauke Mollema op deze mooie klim. Steilte verandert continu, maar dat maakt het dan ook weer een uitdaging. Startte in San Sebastian en Hondarrabia was lastig te vonden op de fiets. Ga na de afdaling naar rechts, rij ongeveer 1 km en je komt in een heel pittoresk dorpje.

Nice climb. Was expecting it to be a bit tougher given how well used it is in vuelta and classica SS but didn't feel too much pain 😀

A fine climb up the Jaizkibel, with a first section that really gets the legs going, followed by a short descent before tackling the hardest part of the 3km climb. The last kilometre is more accessible.

Belle montée du Jaizkibel avec une première partie qui met bien en jambes suivie d’une petite descente avant d’attaquer le plus dure de la montée durant 3km. Le dernier km est plus accessible.

You should not rely too much on the profile because the beginning is difficult, if you have not done any kms before! Then it rolls all by itself with even a small descent before attacking 500m very steep and 1 km around 8-9%. The end is difficult but you can accelerate quite easily. Very beautiful landscape during almost all the ascent. No need for a specific training to climb this quite affordable pass!

Il ne faut pas trop se fier au profil car le début est difficile, si on n'a pas encore fait de kms avant! Ensuite sa roule tout seul avec même une petite descente avant d'attaquer 500m très abrupte et 1 km au alentour de 8-9%. La fin est difficile mais on peut accélérer assez facilement. Très beau paysage durant presque toute la montée. Pas besoin d'un entraînement spécifique pour monter ce col assez abordable!

Start slowly until the church, then speed up a bit and the last kilometers are quite steep. With good weather very nice views. Can be busy in the weekend.

Rustig beginnen tot aan kerkje, dan wat snelheid maken en laatste kilometers redelijk steil. Met mooi weer zeer mooie uitzichten. Kan wat druk zijn in het weekend.

Nice climb to the top of the Jaizkibel with beautiful views (have to be lucky and not have clouds or fog which are quite common here). First you climb to Guadalupeko with a church, with views towards the Pyrenees, France and Hondarribia until then. You cross a col here, descend a bit and climb up on the sea side until just before the pass. Just before the Jaizkibel pass, you turn left into a dead-end road to the summit with the communication towers. The road ends at a fence with quite a bit of poo on the road at the end. Here you have really beautiful views, except to the south (the road just doesn't go to the real peak). Most of the climb is a wide road where it can be busy with tourist traffic, so it is better to go early or late. Good road surface. Nowhere really steep.

Mooie klim naar de top van de Jaizkibel met prachtige uitzichten (moet je wel geluk hebben en geen wolken of mist hebben die hier nogal eens zijn). Eerst klim je naar Guadalupeko met een kerk, met tot dan uitzicht richting Pyreneeën, Frankrijk en Hondarribia. Je steekt hier een col over, daalt wat af en klimt aan de zeekant omhoog tot vlak voor de pas. Vlak voor de Jaizkibel pas ga je links een doodlopend weggetje in naar de top met de communicatie torens. De weg eindigt bij een hek met nogal wat poep op de weg op het laatst. Hier heb je echt prachtige uitzichten, behalve naar het zuiden (de weg gaat net niet naar de echte piek). Grootste deel van de klim is een brede weg waar het druk kan zijn met toeristisch verkeer, het is daarom beter vroeg of laat te gaan. Goed wegdek. Nergens echt steil.
