Wonderful climb that keeps pushing and challenging, also because of the hairpin turns. In between, you can enjoy beautiful views if you have oomph. Jewel!!!... read more

Wonderful climb that keeps pushing and challenging, also because of the hairpin turns. In between, you can enjoy beautiful views if you have oomph. Jewel!!!

Prachtige klim die blijft doortrekken en uitdagen, ook vanwege de haarspeldbochten. Tussendoor kun je genieten van prachtige uitzichten als je tenminste puf hebt. Juweeltje!!

A steady steep climb on a good road surface. Unfortunately the road is surrounded by houses and there are no nice views. Also, it was relatively busy with cars's.

Een gelijkmatige steile klim op een goed wegdek. Helaas is de weg omringd door huizen en zijn er geen mooie uitzichten. Ook was het relatief druk met auto's.

A gem in a beautiful setting. With also super asphalt.
In terms of profile and drawing, you could compare it with the Muur van Hoei, only slightly easier.
Just like the Muur van Hoei, this guy also has a really steep turn halfway the climb.
In case the legs don't feel super, Rue Voie des Prés is a worthy alternative.
But if the legs feel good, why not this calf biter? Switch small and dance up!

Een pareltje in een prachtige omgeving. Met ook nog eens super asfalt.
Qua profilering en tekening zou je hem kunnen vergelijken met de Muur van Hoei, alleen dan IETS makkelijker.
Net als de Muur van Hoei vind je bij deze jongen ook een knoerstijle bocht halverwege de klim.
Mochten de benen niet super voelen, dan is Rue Voie des Prés een waardig alternatief.
Maar als de benen goed voelen, waarom dan niet deze kuitenbijter? Schakel klein en dans omhoog!

Beautiful piece in the land of Herve, if you come from Beyne-Heusay descended between the two hills it seems as if you are deep in the Ardennes. Doesn't make the climb less hard, but the average percentage allows you to divide your forces well.

Schitterend stuk in het land van Herve, als je van Beyne-Heusay af komt gedaald tussen de twee heuvels lijkt het alsof je diep in de ardennen zit. Maakt de klim er niet minder zwaar op, maar door het gemiddelde percentage kun je je krachten goed verdelen.

I finished this climb and it went very fast! Almost flew out of the corner at the hairpin, because my brakes couldn't cope with that

Ik ben deze beklimming afgereden en dat ging heel snel! Bijna uit de bocht gevlogen bij de haarspeldbocht, omdat m'n remmen dat echt niet aankonden

During the Klim Classic I saw several people dismounting and even someone literally tipping over (too late from the pedals) on this climb in the steep part.
In the descent from Rue de Jupille you can already see it and that hurt my eyes.


Heb tijdens de Klim Classic meerdere mensen zien afstappen en zelfs iemand letterlijk zien omkiepen (te laat uit de pedalen) op deze klim in het steile gedeelte.
In de afdaling van Rue de Jupille zie je hem al liggen en dat deed al pijn aan mijn ogen.
