Very tough climb essentially on the second part after reaching col de Crie.
The difficulty points should be a lot higher : the road surface is poor, the slope is very irregular (a succession of descents or flat sections interspersed with steep pitches exceeding 10％). The steep profile linearize the slopes...
Very light traffic.
Some nice views on the way but the view on the tower at the top is disappointing (trees blocking the view...)

So good to climb if you want to suffer or challenge yourself. Pick another climb for an "easy ride".
