Immediately put on the smallest plate when you turn in here. It goes straight up steeply. Narrow street with houses along the two sides, fortunately quiet and a perfect road surface. Dosing is the message. Especially the last hump of 8% just before you reach the top can be disappointing if you've gone for years.... read more

Meteen op de kleinste plaat leggen als je hier indraait. Het gaat direct steil omhoog. Smalle straat met huizen langs de twee kanten, gelukkig rustig en een perfect wegdek. Doseren is de boodschap. Zeker het laatste bultje van 8% net voor je boven bent kan tegenvallen als je al jaren gegaan bent.

Short but brutal wall that hurts immediately. Full tank steep from the start, with little chance to really get into rhythm.

Not a spectacular setting, but ideal for going all-out. Nice snack, especially in combination with the Wall, but not a must-do in itself.

Korte maar brutale muur die meteen pijn doet. Vanaf de start volle bak steil, met weinig kans om echt in ritme te komen.

Geen spectaculaire omgeving, maar wel ideaal om eens all-out te gaan. Leuk tussendoortje, zeker in combinatie met de Muur, maar op zich geen must-do.

In fact the 'real' Wall of Geraardsbergen, what a climb! The slope literally looms as soon as you enter the Voskesstraat. Just before the turn, the climb flattens out for a moment but just before the end it picks up speed again, so at the top you really have to slow down! Watch out at the top for any passing traffic on the right of way.

Feitelijk de 'echte' Muur van Geraardsbergen, wat een klim! De helling doemt letterlijk op zodra je de Voskesstraat infietst. Net voor de bocht vlakt de klim even af maar net voor het eind trekt ie weer flink aan, dus bovenop is het echt even uithijgen! Opgepast op de top voor eventueel voorbijkomend verkeer op de voorrangsweg.

Huge steep wall, it's really pushing until you get all the way to the top - great climb! The tarmac is in good condition. It's only up between houses though, but given the percentages you don't have time to look at the scenery anyway.

Enorm steile muur, het is echt pushen tot je helemaal boven bent - geweldig klimmetje! Het asfalt is in een goede staat. Het is wel maar tussen de huizen naar boven, maar gezien de percentages heb je toch geen tijd om naar de omgeving te kijken.

Just steep! This is ideal for those who want to go up a slope full throttle. You drive past houses, so no special surroundings or landscape. Personally, I prefer the Resteleustraat. But there are other more beautiful alternatives.

Gewoon steil! Voor wie eens een helling full gas wilt opknallen, is dit ideaal. Je rijdt voorbij huizen, dus geen speciale omgeving of landschap. Persoonlijk kies ik eerder voor Resteleustraat. Maar er zijn nog andere mooiere alternatieven.

beetje verborgen tussen de rest, maar best pittig ding. Had net daarvoor de denderoordberg op geknald en dan waren die 16% hier toch even lastig.

Firm pile up for the fans of the steeper work. Nice to do in combination with the Muur van Geraardsbergen, but better slow down because there is not much time to recover!

Stevige puist voor de liefhebbers van het steilere werk. Leuk om te doen in combinatie met de Muur van Geraardsbergen, maar hou dan best wat in, want veel tijd om te recupereren is er niet!

Pretty soon you'll see a wall right in front of you, not the famous Geraardsbergen wall, but this one counts too. If you're riding towards Moerbeke- Galmaarden, this is a must.

Je ziet al vrij snel een muur recht voor je opduiken, niet de befaamde muur van Geraardsbergen maar deze kan toch ook tellen. Als je richting Moerbeke- Galmaarden rijdt is dit wel een aanrader.
