The climb itself is not very special in terms of harpins or gradient, but it is a very fun and beautiful road with good tarmac, right through a lush forest in the French Ardennes. The climb was also featured in stage 6 of the 2022 Tour de France from Binche to Longwy, where Wout Van Aert went in the breakaway in his yellow jersey.
