I would like to give some advice for those who, like me, like to look for alternative ways to hurt themselves, such as tackling this wall on a road bike. The first section is the toughest, as you can see from the altimetry; the asphalt is very bad and full of potholes, and in the middle and on the sides of the road there is just enough gravel to make the rear wheel skid. The real challenge is not to lose contact with the ground, which is difficult given the gradient and the jerking motion. ... read more

I would like to give some advice for those who, like me, like to look for alternative ways to hurt themselves, such as tackling this wall on a road bike.

The first section is the toughest, as you can see from the altimetry; the asphalt is very bad and full of potholes, and in the middle and on the sides of the road there is just enough gravel to make the rear wheel skid. The real challenge is not to lose contact with the ground, which is difficult given the gradient and the jerking motion.

About a third of the way up the hard section there is a road on the left: this is a good place to stop and start again if you don't make it all in one go, also considering that the absolute worst section is the one immediately after this junction. The same goes for the first hairpin bend.

Once the second hairpin bend is reached, the worst is over; the climb continues around 20% but the terrain improves and it is easier to pedal.

I strongly advise against the descent, for all the reasons listed above. Once at the top, the best thing is to turn left and continue uphill to La Cugna and then go down the Porrettana; another option is, turning right, to go down towards Villa di Sotto and return to Via di Valdibrana (the road is narrow and sloping but not extreme, and the asphalt is within the norm).

This climb has nothing nice to offer, except the challenge itself, so I recommend it only to those looking for this kind of thing.

Mi sento di dare qualche consiglio per quelli che come me amano andare alla ricerca di modi alternativi per farsi del male, come ad esempio affrontare questo muro in bici da strada.

Il primo tratto è quello più duro, come si vede dall'altimetria; l'asfalto è pessimo e pieno di buche, in mezzo e ai lati della strada, inoltre, c'è quel poco di ghiaia che basta a far slittare la ruota posteriore. La vera sfida è non perdere contatto con il terreno, il che è arduo vista la pendenza e il procedere a sobbalzi.

A circa un terzo del tratto duro c'è una strada sulla sinistra: è un buon punto per fermarsi e per ripartire se non ci si fa a fare tutto d'un fiato, considerando anche che la sezione peggiore in assoluto è quella subito dopo questo incrocio. Lo stesso vale per il primo tornante.

Una volta raggiunto il secondo tornante il peggio è passato; la salita prosegue intorno al 20% ma il fondo migliora ed è più facile pedalare.

Sconsiglio fortemente la discesa, per tutti i motivi sopra elencati. Una volta in cima la cosa migliore è svoltare a sinistra e continuare a salire fino a La Cugna per poi scendere la Porrettana; un'altra opzione è, svoltando a destra, scendere verso Villa di Sotto e tornare in via di Valdibrana (la strada è stretta e pendente ma non estrema, e l'asfalto è nella norma).

Questa salita non ha niente di bello da offrire, se non la sfida in sé, la consiglio quindi soltanto a chi cerca questo genere di cose.
