Clearly one of the hardest walls I've ever done, it seemed harder than the Redoute or the Huy wall. The slope is very steep and only gets steeper. I saw several people finish on foot. If you come here untrained or with a few extra kilos, it will be hell. But it's worth the diversions, and should be done once.... read more

Clairement un des murs les plus durs que j'aie faits, il m'a semblé plus dur que la Redoute ou le mur de Huy. La pente est très sévère et ne fait que s'accentuer. J'ai vu plusieurs personnes finir à pied. Si vous venez ici sans être entraîné ou avec quelques kilos en trop, ce sera un enfer. Mais ça vaut le détour, à faire une fois.

Perhaps the most difficult climb in the region, with its terrible gradient in excess of 20％. Correct route in the heart of a small combe, starting from the beautiful village of Monieux.

Peut être la montée la plus difficile de la région, par sa pente terrible au delà des 20％. Route correcte au cœur d'une petite combe, au départ du beau village de Monieux

After an interminable, slightly uphill false flat in the gorges de la Nesque, I ate the Monnieux wall (on purpose): I must have left a heart valve behind, and yet I love climbing! Worth doing, but not every day!

Après un interminable faux plat un peu montant des gorges de la Nesque, je me suis mangé le mur de Monnieux (c'était volontaire): j'ai du laisser une valve cardiaque sur place, et pourtant j'aime grimper ! A faire, mais pas tous les jours !

Very tough but beautiful climb. Quiet but NOT traffic-free, as cars're allowed down. You thus avoid a long climb on the main road from Sault. Best done a few days before the Ventoux then the Ventoux is not too bad :)

Zeer zware maar mooie beklimming. Rustig maar NIET verkeersvrij, want auto's mogen naar beneden. Je vermijdt zo een lange klim over de grote weg vanuit Sault. Best doen een paar dagen voor de Ventoux dan valt de Ventoux mee :)

MONSTROUS!
Looking for a wall to test yourself against? This is the place to be. It's fearsome! There are no cars, so you can zigzag your way up at 4km/h. At least, that's what I did! A must do!

MONSTRUEUX !
Vous cherchiez un mur pour vous tester ? Vous l’avez trouvé ! Vous êtes là où il faut être. C’est redoutable !
Pas de voitures, alors vous pourrez monter en zigzaguant à 4km/h. En tout cas, moi c’est ce que j’ai fait ! A faire absolument !

For those who like it, a very steep climb, especially the last part before you get back to the main road.

Voor de liefhebbers, een erg steile beklimming, met name het laatste stuk voor je weer bij de doorgaande weg komt.

Very steep challenging climb, a kind of extended Keutenberg with even steeper sections. Nice to do if you are near the Ventoux. Little traffic on the road.

Hele stijle uitdagende klim, een soort verlengde keutenberg met nog stijlere stroken. Leuk om te doen als je bij de Ventoux in de buurt bent. Weinig verkeer op de weg.

Very nice and challenging climb to do if you stay near the mont Ventoux. Last part of the climb is very tough and seems to have no end.

Zeer mooie en uitdagende beklimming om te doen als je in de buurt van de mont Ventoux verblijft. Laatste deel van de beklimming is erg zwaar en lijkt geen einde aan te komen.
