After the initial run-up, the road starts climbing steadily. The middle section of this climb is the most varied and therefore the most strategic. You will encounter sections where the percentages rise to a punchy 6-8%, interspersed with shorter, slightly less steep sections where you can recover and find your rhythm for a while. The road winds through a mix of open countryside with views over the rolling hills and denser afforestation providing welcome shade. Here and there you will come across a farm or a small house, adding to the rural Ardennes atmosphere. The road surface is generally good, allowing for comfortable climbing, but always watch out for loose stones after rainfall. This part of the climb requires patience and a good sense of pace, as you have to constantly anticipate the changing gradient.

Na de aanvankelijke aanloop begint de weg gestaag te stijgen. Het middenstuk van deze klim is het meest afwisselend en daardoor ook het meest strategisch. Je zult secties tegenkomen waar de percentages oplopen tot een pittige 6-8%, afgewisseld met kortere, iets minder steile passages waar je even kunt herstellen en je ritme kunt vinden. De weg slingert zich door een mix van open landschap met vergezichten over de glooiende heuvels en dichtere bebossing die voor welkome schaduw zorgt. Hier en daar kom je een boerderij of een kleine woning tegen, wat de landelijke Ardense sfeer versterkt. Het wegdek is over het algemeen goed, wat comfortabel klimmen mogelijk maakt, maar let altijd op voor losse steentjes na regenval. Dit deel van de klim vereist geduld en een goed gevoel voor tempo, omdat je voortdurend moet anticiperen op de veranderende hellingsgraad.
