Great climb starting right after the dam. Didn't see any traffic and the tarmac is in perfect condition. Beautiful views on 2nd part of the climb.

Very nice scenery and climb. From the dam, it starts with decent percentages, then the climb continues nicely. Very quiet and good road surface. Especially second part of the climb and subsequent descent.
