Very tough climb! I did it after climbing Chindonne, my legs reminded me of it....
The first (almost) three km are unbreathable, no rest and gradients often in excess of 15%.
After 3km you think you're done because there's a slight descent, but it picks up again. Fortunately the slopes are gentler, but still demanding.
Once you arrive, it's a real treat to be able to contemplate the Teeth of Midi!
Highly recommended for those feeling brave.

Ascension très dure! je l'ai faite après avoir monté Chindonne, les jambes me l'ont rappelé...
Les (presque) trois premiers km sont irrespirables, pas de repos et des pentes souvent au-delà de 15%.
Après 3km on croit avoir terminé car il y a une légère descente, mais cela reprend de plus belle. Heureusement les pentes sont plus douces, mais quand mêmes exigeantes.
Une fois arrivé, c'est un vrai régal de pouvoir contempler les dents du midi!
Chaudement recommandé pour qui se sent courageux

Good luck! On a more serious note, the tarmac is in impeccable condition, which is pretty good considering the gradients involved. For me, it was the highlight of a tour that started in Monthey, then Champery, Les Crosets and finished in... What an incredible climax! On the other hand, I strongly advise against going down this road on the other side'it's much more interesting.

Bon courage ! Plus sérieusement le goudron est dans un état irréprochable ce qui est plutôt bien vu les pourcentages de l'histoire. Pour ma part sa a été le clou d'un tour partant de Monthey puis Champery, Les Crosets et finir par cette côte... Quel apothéose incroyable ! Par contre je déconseille vivement de descendre par cette route de l'autre côté c'est bien plus intéressant.
