Except for its length, this climb is not physically tough, but mentally it hurts because especially the first part seems endless with a long stretch in the beginning until the first bend, which you can really see going up from Jalhay, and the last dead straight stretch of almost 3 kilometres until the road from Eupen (at the end nice views to the back!). The bulk of this does have a good cycle lane. Thank goodness because cars're often driven very fast there. Then you come to the road to Malmedy which fortunately has some more bends and where the percentages soon decrease. From Baraque Michel on there is only a slight slope. By the way, the last part now also has a bicycle lane.
Hard to gauge this one: Fun? Mwah... of course it's a good challenge with lots of altimeters. And there's not really an alternative from Jalhay. The fact that large parts have a bicycle lane does make a difference and the surroundings are beautiful.

Op de lengte na is deze klim fysiek niet zwaar, maar mentaal doet deze wel pijn want vooral het eerste deel lijkt eindeloos te duren met in het begin een lang stuk tot de eerste bocht, wat je vanuit Jalhay echt ziet oplopen, en het laatste kaarsrechte stuk van vrijwel 3 kilometer tot de weg vanuit Eupen (op het eind mooi uitzicht naar achteren!). Het grootse deel hiervan heeft wel een goede fietsstrook. Gelukkig maar want er wordt door de auto's vaak heel hard gereden. Daarna kom je op de weg naar Malmedy waar gelukkig wat meer bochten in zitten en waarbij de percentages al snel afnemen. Vanaf Baraque Michel is er nog maar een lichte glooiing. Het laatste deel heeft trouwens tegenwoordig ook een fietsstrook.
Moeilijk te peilen deze: Leuk? Mwah... het is natuurlijk wel een goede uitdaging met veel hoogtemeters. En een alternatief is er niet echt vanuit Jalhay. Feit dat grote delen een fietsstrook hebben scheelt iig wel en de omgeving is fraai.
