Out-of-category climb to the beautiful terminus with radar installation. Starting in Funchal at sea level, you climb to over 1800m altitude. In the first part, you immediately have to work hard with a series of kilometres with only double percentages. These percentages fortunately drop in the final kilometres. At the top, you are rewarded with insane views.

Klim van buiten categorie naar het fraaie eindpunt met radarinstallatie. Met start in Funchal op zeeniveau klim je naar dik 1800m hoogte. In het eerste deel moet je meteen flink aan de bak met een reeks kilometers met uitsluitend dubbele percentages. Deze percentages zakken gelukkig in de laatste kilometers. Op de top word je beloond met een waanzinnig uitzicht.
