Beautiful climb. The valley looks deserted but wonderful. Road surface is doable in itself, although the descent is perhaps a little less so. Tight asphalt it is not, either. The last 5 km are 12％ on average. Very tricky. You are likely to encounter cows as you rake uphill. At the top, clouds tend to linger so it can be very cold, wet and windy even in summer. All in all, the steepness of the last 5 km makes it a must if you are in the area.
Mooie klim. Het dal doet verlaten maar wonderschoon aan. Wegdek is op zich te doen, al is het afdalen misschien wel ietsje minder. Strak asfalt is het ook niet. De laatste 5 km zijn gemiddeld 12％. Erg lastig. Je hebt de kans koeien tegen te komen als je naar boven harkt. Bovenop blijft er nog al eens een wolk hangen waardoor het ook zomers erg koud, nat en winderig kan zijn. Al met al door de steilte in de laatste 5 km wel een must als je in de buurt bent.
