Very hard for the first 800 metres. After that, you can breathe a little.

Did this climb and after the steep part switched to the Côte de la Casmatrie.
If you want to know how it is to die at 400 meters, you have to do this climb.
Lightest gear, walking pace, that was all I could do.
At the top of the steep part I turned right and took the second part of the Côte de la Casmatrie, what a relief when you just came from hell.
