Road has only gotten worse. Very occasionally you can still recognise a patch of asphalt if you pay attention. You should actually ride this climb on a mountain bike, but miraculously I didn't get a puncture. Fortunately, the view makes up for a lot, and the cappuccino 4.5 km below the summit was no problem either. Very happy with the descent on the other side of the mountain.

Weg is er alleen maar slechter op geworden. Heel af en toe herken je nog een stukje asfalt als je goed oplet. Je zou deze beklimming eigenlijk met een mountainbike moeten rijden, wonder boven wonder niet lek gereden. Het uitzicht maakt gelukkig een hoop goed, en ook met de cappuccino 4,5 km onder de top was niks mis. Heel blij met de afdaling aan de andere kant van de berg.

Beautiful views of Vesuvius. Poor road surface indeed but is manageable. Beautiful hairpin bends and on top a beautiful view. On the road no traffic encountered only a few wild horses

Mooi uitzicht op de Vesuvius. Wel slecht wegdek inderdaad maar is te overzien. Prachtige haarspeldbochten en bovenop een mooi uitzicht. Onderweg geen verkeer tegengekomen alleen een paar wilde paarden

Intensely bad road surface, but definitely worth this climb. The views on the Vesuvius and the sea are definitely worth it.
If you survive the first piece (very steep), then the rest is also possible because it is just a bit less steep. You should not expect more than 1 or 2 cars on the road during the climb. Once at the top you come to a new asphalt road and you have a great descent.

Bad road surface up is not a problem for me because you go slowly anyway.

Intens slecht wegdek, maar zeker de moeite waard om deze klim mee te nemen. De vergezichten op de Vesuvius en de zee zijn zeker de moeite waard.
Als je het eerste stukje overleefd (erg steil), dan lukt de rest ook wel want die is net wat minder steil. Je hoeft niet meer dan 1 of 2 auto's op de weg te verwachten gedurende de klim. Eenmaal boven kom je op een nieuwe geasfalteerde weg en heb je een heerlijke afdaling.

Slecht wegdek omhoog is wat mij betreft geen probleem want je gaat toch langzaam...
