Beautiful little road going up along the Marnas. Up to the campsite it is even a pretty wide road, then a lot narrower. Up to where you take a sharp left turn over Marnas, it is only false flat uphill. But after that the gradients are not high on average, but the climb is very irregular with short stretches of 8-10% and almost flat stretches.
Saint Pons is just 2 houses and a little church. It was once larger with more houses and even a school, but in the 19 March 1944 raid against the resistance, these were burnt down and never rebuilt. After Saint Pons follows a few hundred metres straight up where my altimeter over 200m ticked about's 11-12%. A short descent is followed by another short climb to the highest point. The highest point is a bit of an anti-climax as there is nothing except 2 houses.
However, the views are beautiful and the almost total absence of traffic makes this a fine climb for those who like irregular.

Prachtig weggetje dat langs de Marnas omhoog gaat. Tot aan de camping is het zelfs een behoorlijk brede weg, daarna een stuk smaller. Tot waar je in een scherpe bocht naar links over Marnas gaat is het slechts vals plat omhoog. Maar daarna zijn de stijgingspercentages gemiddeld niet hoog, maar is de klim héél onregelmatig met korte stukjes 8-10% en bijna vlakke stukjes.
Saint Pons is slechts 2 huizen en een kerkje. Het was ooit groter met meer huizen en zelfs een school, maar in de razzia van 19 maart 1944 tegen het verzet zijn die platgebrand en nooit meer opgebouwd. Na Saint Pons volgt een paar honderd meter recht omhoog waar mijn hoogtemeter over 200m zo'n 11-12% aantikte. Na een kort dalinkje volgt nog een kort klimmetje tot het hoogste punt. Het hoogste punt is een beetje anti-climax aangezien er behalve 2 huizen niks is.
De uitzichten zijn echter prachtig en de bijna totale afwezigheid van verkeer maakt dit een fijne klim voor wie van onregelmatig houdt.
