A tough start when you turn it on from the Amblève. Then a long, steady climb on a wide track with good tarmac. Without the slightly busier traffic at times, it would be 5 stars for me.

Een pittige start wanneer je hem vanaf de Amblève aanzet. Daarna een lange, gelijkmatige klim over een brede baan met goed asfalt. Zonder het ietwat drukkere verkeer soms, zou hij 5 sterren zijn voor me.

I did this climb from the main road...gentle start and from the exit in Stoumont it goes up steeply around 7 - 8 % constant over a length of about a kilometre...nice climb with little traffic and reasonably good road surface.

Heb deze klim vanaf de grote weg gedaan..rustige start en vanaf de afslag in Stoumont gaat het toch pittig omhoog rond de 7 - 8 % constant over een lengte van ongeveer een kilometer..mooie klim met weinig verkeer en redelijk goed wegdek.

For those who like long climbs, this is definitely a must. The first bit takes your breath away, but afterwards the percentages are such that you can recover from it. Especially from the exit at Stoumont, this is a fairly steady climb, good to find a real climbing rhythm.

Voor wie van lange klimmen houdt is dit zeker een aanrader. Het eerste stukje trapt je even goed op de adem, maar daarna worden de percentages dusdanig dat je daar wel weer van kunt bekomen. Vooral vanaf de afslag bij stoumont een vrij regelmatige klim, goed om een echt klimritme te vinden.

Accidentally grabbed this version of La Vecquee. I think I would have preferred the other version, haha. The first part is quite steep but if you survive you are treated to good road surface until Stoutmont. This climb (La Vecquee) is definitely a must with this road surface and this length.

Per ongeluk deze versie van La Vecquee gepakt. Denk dat ik liever de andere versie had gehad haha. Het eerste stukje is flink steil maar als je dat overleeft word je getrakteerd op lekker wegdek tot Stoutmont. Deze klim (La Vecquee) is zeker een aanrader met dit wegdek en deze lengte.
