This is a gravel climb. The last 3.5 km is very loose gravel, and a road bike will not be sufficient. This also turns the climb into a first category climb. Most of the climb is in the woods, meaning there are no views. The top is at a forest parking area, used by hikers. This also means that there are a few cars on the climb. Overall, there aren't really any reasons to do this climb, except for the challenge (as it is indeed quite challenging).... read more
