Rerely climbed (just 47 times on Strava) but I was very satisfied.
Once I finished the tarmac at la fruitière and I continued 1km further on gravel (walk if not the appropriate tires), to get to the beautiful green plateau.
Only a litthe further and I arrived at the top of La Combe for the descent.

Contrary to the description, the road surface is fine until the last 5 km.
Like most steep back climbs, the road surface always gets worse as the climb progresses.
Very fine climb up to and past Montgirod.
Fairly regular climb but past the town the percentages start to go up.
Beautiful views of the valley and mountain peaks.
The climb alternates between steep and less steep so you get a break.
Suddenly you're on an open stretch and then you're already there!
Definitely do it!

In tegenstelling tot de omschrijving is het wegdek prima tot de laatste 5 km.
Zoals de meeste steile achteraf klimmen word het wegdek altijd slechter naarmate de klim vordert.
Hele fijne klim tot en voorbij Montgirod.
Vrij regelmatige klim maar voorbij het plaatsje beginnen de percentages omhoog te gaan.
Mooie uitzichten op de vallei en op bergtoppen.
De klim wisselt af met steil en minder steil zodat je even rust krijgt.
Plots zit je op een open stuk en dan ben je er al!
Zeker doen!
