Quite a short climb but very technical. The climb is steep from the very beginning and after a short while becomes even steeper quite suddenly. To get to the summit riders will need to turn left at the mini roundabout. This climb is definitely a challenge, even for experienced riders. Kudos to all those that conquer! The views are amazing - a real bonus :-)... read more
