The first part of the climb, which leads from Pozzarello to the village of Montevettolini, is smooth and rideable, with gradients ranging between 4% and 6%. Shortly after passing the road that leads to the splendid Villa Medicea, one is faced with the hardest section of the entire climb, a wall of about 1 km with an average gradient in double figures and a maximum gradient that exceeds 17%. Once past this asperity one encounters a falsopiano at 2% that continues to the summit. The road winds its way through the typical landscape of the Montalbano hills, consisting mainly of olive groves, has little traffic and the road surface is generally good.
La prima parte della salita, che da Pozzarello conduce al borgo di Montevettolini, è regolare e pedalabile, con pendenze che oscillanno fra il 4% e il 6%. Poco dopo aver superato la via che porta alla splendida Villa Medicea ci si trova davanti alla sezione più dura di tutta l'ascesa, un muro di circa 1 km con pendenza media in doppia cifra e massima che supera il 17%. Oltrepassata questa asperità si incontra un falsopiano al 2% che continua fino allo scollinamento. La strada si snoda nel paesaggio tipico delle colline del Montalbano, composto in particolare da oliveti, è poco trafficata e il manto stradale è generalmente buono.
