Un vrai joyau caché !
Montée très raide, et malgré tout relativement longue. La route est en très bon état, et avec peu de circulation (et heureusement car c'est quasi impossible pour une voiture de dépasser)

Even the run-up to this climb I found quite beautiful. You don't climb up here through old industrial housing estates for a change, but among the cows in the fields. Blessed! From bottom to top you have to pedal well because the climb does not get easy at any point. Highly recommended!
Zelfs de aanloop naar deze beklimming vond ik al heel mooi. Je klimt hier voor de verandering eens niet omhoog door oude industriële woonwijken, maar tussen de koeien in de velden. Zalig! Het is van beneden tot boven goed door trappen want de klim wordt op geen enkel moment gemakkelijk. Aanrader!

the corner is quiet, pretty and steep. Be careful when you arrive from Hoyoux, you have to turn right at almost 180° and it goes up immediately. A wrong gear and you're sure to stop. The climb seems longer than announced and you have to manage the distance. And don't put your foot down if the road is wet, you will be pedalling for nothing.
le coin est tranquille, joli et pentu. Gaffe en arrivant du Hoyoux, il faut tourner à droite à presque 180° et ça monte tout de suite. Un mauvais braquet et c'est l'arrêt assuré. La montée parait plus longue qu'annoncée et il faut gérer la distance. Et puis, évitez de passer le pied en danseuse si la route est humide, vous pédalerez pour rien.
