The first part was easy enough to warm up... The section from the Col des Caougnous to the Col de Péguère is nothing but bliss.... (it's hell!!!) 1st km at 18%. Beautiful view from the top. Very nice to do.... read more

I climbed this pass in sweltering heat, which is surely skewing my perception, but I think it’s one of the toughest passes I’ve ever climbed! The first section, which is shared with the Col de Portel, serves as a warm-up: a wide road in excellent condition, not too much traffic, and gradients that never exceed 6 per cent... Then comes the junction and the left-hand bend leading to “the wall”. You’re immediately thrown into the thick of it: a sign reading “Caution: 18 per cent gradient” awaits you, and the sign marking the start of the pass indicates an average gradient of around 12 per cent… The climb is in the shade, but you won’t have time to enjoy the scenery – the gradient is too steep. This is a climb that should definitely not be underestimated and will really make your thighs ache!

Col grimpé sous forte chaleur qui biaise sûrement mon ressenti, mais je crois qu'il s'agit de l'un des cols les plus durs que j'ai grimpé ! La première partie, commune au col de Portel, sert d'échauffement : route large et en excellent état, pas trop de circulation, des pourcentages qui ne dépassent jamais les 6%... Puis vient l'intersection et le virage à gauche pour rejoindre "le mur". Vous êtes immédiatement mis dans l'ambiance : un panneau "attention pente 18%" vous attend, et le panneau de départ du col indique une moyenne proche des 12%... La montée est à l'ombre, en revanche vous n'aurez pas le temps de profiter des paysages, la pente est trop raide. Une montée qu'il ne faut surtout pas sous-estimer et qui vous fera bien mal aux cuisses !

Première partie sans difficulté pour se chauffer car... La partie du col des Caougnous au col de Péguère que du bonheur... (c'est l'enfer!!!) 1er km à 18%. Très belle vue en haut. A faire très sympa.
