Tricky jagged climb. The profile does not cover it well. It's either 14％ or 1％, but nothing in between. It's not a pretty climb either, going through buildings for quite a long time. A little after the top, however, there is a nice view of the valley.... read more

Lastige grillige klim. Het profiel dekt niet goed de lading. Het is of 14％ of 1％, maar niks ertussenin. Het is ook geen fraaie klim, hij gaat vrij lang door de bebouwing. Iets na de top wel een mooi uitzicht op het dal.

As a beginner climber from the flat land, don't start. Too steep for words, not doable. Didn't dare to turn around because the descent is a total drama. I'm sure some parts are at least 16-17％. Had to stop twice and a litre of sweat later. Last piece was a walk!

Als beginnende klimmer uit het platte landje niet aan beginnen. Te stijl voor woorden, niet te doen. Durfde niet een om te draaien omdat de afdaling terug helemaal drama is. Weet zeker dat sommige stukken minimaal 16-17％ zijn. 2x moeten stoppen en een litertje zweet later weer door. Laatste stukje gelopen!
