I did this climb in July 2023 on a hot summer day. A few clouds saved me and the altitude, however: the hard part is between 1,200 and 1,600 metres, helps to dampen the sultriness. The climb is long, and I started it from Piove Fosciana as I was descending from the Passo delle Radici on the other side (Casone). The most demanding part is about 2km from the summit at the 18％ sign.
From there onwards it climbs in violent bursts with a few pieces at 22％. The arrival in the hamlet of San Pellegrino in Alpe (which then gives its real name to the climb) determines the end of the hard part: from there onwards the ％ return to unity.
Not very comfortable for the Emilians: I had started from Lama Mocogno but still worth doing because we don't have many HC.
Ho fatto questa salita in luglio 2023 in una calda giornata estiva. Qualche nuvola mi ha salvato e cmq l'altitudine: la parte dura è tra i 1.200 e i 1600 aiuta a stemperare l'afa. La salita è lunga io l'ho iniziata da Piove Fosciana in quanto scendevo dal passo delle radici dall'altra parte (Casone). La parte più impegnativa in assoluto è a 2km dalla vetta circa in corrispondenza del cartello 18％.
Da lì in poi si sale a strappi violenti con qualche pezzo al 22％. L'arrivo nella frazione di San Pellegrino in Alpe (che dà poi il vero nome alla salita) determina la conclusione del pezzo duro: da lì in poi le ％ tornano all'unità.
Non comodissima per gli emiliani : io ero partito da Lama Mocogno ma comunque da fare perchè di HC non ne abbiamo tanti.
Thickly recommended and quite a challenge. But keep some energy left for the last few kilometres up to San Pellegrino, because it won't get below 12％ from the 18％ sign.
Dikke aanrader en een flinke uitdaging. Maar hou nog wel wat energie over voor de laatste paar kilometer tot San Pellegrino, want het zal vanaf het bordje 18％ niet meer onder de 12％ komen.
Climbed this climb in the summer of 2019. Good tarmac and very quiet on the road as it is not a major thoroughfare for road traffic. Despite the fact that this climb is not so well known it should definitely not be underestimated. The climb is very long and constant 8％ in combination with the temperatures in summer it is no fun. Halfway up, the climb flattens out for a while and you have a beautiful view of the surroundings. But don't be fooled, the hardest part starts immediately after when the sign of "18％" appears. You will first face a short steep section followed by 5-6 hairpin bends of approx. 14-15％ before arriving in San Pellegrino. A little further from the top is a short descent to Passo delle Radici where there is a water point, which you definitely need!
Highly recommended for people who want to try a HC-like climb on a quiet, well paved road!
In de zomer van 2019 deze klim beklommen. Goed asfalt en zeer rustig op de weg daar het geen belangrijke doorroute is voor wegverkeer. Ondanks dat deze klim niet zo bekend is moet hij zeker niet onderschat worden. Hij gaat heel lang en constant 8％ i.c.m. de temperaturen in de zomer is het qua hitte geen pretje. De klim vlakt halverwege eventjes uit vanwaar je een prachtig uitzicht hebt op de omgeving. Verkijk je echter niet, het zwaarste gedeelte begint direct erna wanneer het bordje van "18％" opdoemt. Je krijgt eerst een kort steil stukje voor de kiezen gevolgd door 5-6 haarspeldbochten van ca 14-15％ waarna je in San Pellegrino aankomt. Iets verder van de top zit een korte afdaling naar Passo delle Radici waar een waterpunt beschikbaar is, die heb je zeker nodig!
Een aanrader voor mensen die een HC achtige klim willen proberen op een rustige, goed geasfalteerde weg!
