What a brutal climb. In the village I still turned right in good spirits.
After a friendly hello here and there to French locals, I was glad there was only a single hiker to be seen after that: as my breath was pretty much cut off. The climb is steep, and I mean really steep.
Resting at 11% is a bizarre experience. Even though the climb is not long, I had to stop for a while. After 2.5km I was completely cooked, also due to the heat.
A quick drink and something to eat and on again. It's a nice climb, though. Quiet road through the trees and occasionally with nice views of the surrounding rocky outcrops and meadows. Do you like a challenge? Then you should definitely do this climb!

Wat een brute klim. In het dorpje ging ik nog vol goede moed rechtsaf.
Na een vriendelijk hallo hier en daar naar Franse locals was ik blij dat er daarna alleen nog maar een enkele wandelaar te zien was: mijn adem was namelijk behoorlijk afgesneden. De klim is steil, en dan bedoel ik ook echt steil.
Uitrusten bij 11% is een bizarre ervaring. Ook al is de klim niet lang, toch moest ik even stoppen. Na 2,5km was ik, ook door de hitte, helemaal gekookt.
Even drinken en iets eten en weer verder. Het is wel een mooie klim. Rustige weg door de bomen en af en toe met mooie vergezichten op de omliggende rotspartijen en weiden. Houd he van een uitdaging? Dan moet je deze klim zeker doen!
