Echt een fantastisch klim, vooral in het voorjaar sls veel Nederlandse profs hier ook aan het trainen zijn. Wel een klim voor de lange adem want het is meer dan 40 km omhoog met bijna geen vlak stukje. Temperatuur steeg in mei van 28 graden in Granada naar vriespunt op de top. Laatste stuk weg is erg slecht vooral omdst er ijs ligt tussen de brokken asfalt. Maar waar klim je dik 2500 meter????
