The climb is really long for a Belgian climb, it's a bit of a "col". The climb isn't really smooth: the first part is on mini flagstones and the second on cobbles, which are very slippery even in summer. These cobbles, which you get fed up with, give you a short stretch of tarmac before starting again. It's a pain, but it adds to the difficulty, and that's what we like.
La montée est vraiment longue pour une ascension belge, c'est un peu un "col". La montée n'est vraiment pas roulante : la première partie se fait sur de mini dalles et la deuxième sur les pavés qui sont, attention, très glissant même en été. Ces pavés qui qu'en on en a marre d'eux nous offrent une petite portion de bitume avant de repartir de plus belle. C'est chiant certes, mais ça rajoute de la difficulté et ça on aime.
