It's actually climbing quite hard. You really feel the gradients. Some of the sections are tough.
The surface is in all sorts of states, with the worst rubbing shoulders with the best.
Up there, the only year-round resident will be happy to have a chat.
The "La Blache" sign on the ground? Well, no-one ever climbs up here anyway!
The descent is fantastic but very tricky (banked switchbacks, small crevasses, gravel...).
I really enjoyed this climb!
Mine de rien, ça grimpe plutôt fort. Les pourcentages se ressentent vraiment. Certains passages sont costauds.
Le revêtement « est dans tous ses états » : le pire côtoie le meilleur.
Là haut, le seul habitant à l’année sera heureux de faire un brin de causette.
Le panneau « La Blache » au sol ? Bah, de toute façon, personne ne monte jamais par ici !
La descente est formidable mais très piégeuse (lacets en dévers, petites crevasses, gravillons…).
J’ai bien aimé cette côte !
