The climb can easily be described as a brutal wall. In one straight line, you will climb several hundred meters at percentages of around 15% or even higher. My fifth star is only missing because the climb isn't one of the most beautiful ones in the area, yet along the way you have a view (if you still have the breath to enjoy it) of the Echinghen viaduct.
Only the Rue Eugène Varlin is steeper for miles around, and that one is also on top of the same hill. That makes this climb an absolute must for the fans of steep climbing.
De klim valt gerust te omschrijven als een brute muur. In één rechte lijn klim je zonder pardon enkele honderden meters aan percentages van rond de 15% of zelfs hoger. Mijn vijfde ster ontbreekt alleen vanwege het feit dat de klim niet bij de mooiste is van de omgeving behoort, toch heb je onderweg uitzicht (mocht je nog de adem hebben om er van te kunnen genieten) over het viaduct van Echinghen.
In de wijde omtrek is slechts de Rue Eugène Varlin steiler, en die komt ook nog eens boven op de zelfde heuvel. Dat maakt deze klim een absolute must voor de liefhebber van het steile klimwerk.
