Parcheggio, they would call it in the race. As described below, it's really a climb where you completely fall silent and have to fight to get on top.
"Parcheggio!" zouden ze roepen in de koers. Zoals hieronder al beschreven, echt een klimmetje waar je compleet op stilvalt en moet vechten om boven te geraken.
I have to go back on my claim that this is the toughest climb in the pays des collines. For a moment I had forgotten the awful Mt. St. Laurent, so this is the second hardest :-)
Ik moet even terugkomen op mijn bewering dit de lastigste klim in de pays des collines zou zijn. Ik was even de vreselijke Mt. St. Laurent vergeten, dus dit is de op 1 na zwaarste :-)
I am astonished by the points attributed to this coast (yes I know it is suggestive) I find it easier than the bourliquet for example, but to do obviously
Je suis étonné des points attribués à cette côte (oui je sais c'est suggestif) je la trouve plus facile que le bourliquet par exemple, mais à faire évidemment
Unknown is unloved. This one is close to all the famous climbs of the spring classics but is unknown to many because it is not included in a big race. Probably because it's just across the language border and that's not done by some absurd unwritten rule. Too bad because the region is really worth a visit. This is one of those hills where you really have the feeling of not moving forward. The steepness of the slope is not really visible during the climb. Nice to do if you're cycling around Ronse or Geraardsbergen.
Onbekend is onbemind. Deze ligt vlak bij alle bekende hellingen van de voorjaarsklassiekers maar is voor velen onbekend omdat die niet opgenomen is in een grote wedstrijd. Wellicht omdat die net over de taalgrens is en dat door een of andere absurde ongeschreven regel not done is. Jammer want de streek is echt wel een uitstapje waard. Dit is zo'n helling waar je echt het gevoel hebt om niet vooruit te gaan. De steilte is tijdens de beklimming niet echt goed te zien. Leuk om eens te doen als je rond Ronse of Geraardsbergen zit te fietsen.
Probably the most difficult climb in the Pays des Collines. Be sure to look back at the steepest part!
Wellicht de lastigste klim in het Pays des collines. Zeker eens achterom kijken op het steilste stuk!
A must for the Grinta Challenge. This climb reminds a bit of La Redoute, only shorter of course. It starts relatively slowly, and then you have the impression of taking off towards the sky. After a brief respite, the final section, even if it is not very steep, can cut the legs of those who have not saved enough up to this point.
Beautiful views of the area... towards the back, along the steepest part. So much to say that one can hardly enjoy it in the direction of the rise!
Un passage obligé du Grinta Challenge. Cette côte rappelle un peu la Redoute, en plus court bien sûr. Elle commence relativement doucement, et puis on a l'impression de décoller vers le ciel. Après un bref répit, la portion finale, même si elle est peu pentue, peut couper les jambes de celui qui ne s'est pas assez économisé jusque là.
Magnifique point de vue sur la région… vers l'arrière, le long de la partie la plus raide. Autant dire qu'on ne peut guère en profiter dans le sens de la montée !
