It's a long climb to the north of Dublin, with a gradient that varies but is rarely very steep, and fairly heavy traffic, especially at weekends. Watch out for the last ramp, which I think is steeper.

Longue montée pour la région du Nord de Dublin avec une pente variable mais rarement très raide, une circulation assez forte surtout le week-end. Attention à la dernière rampe qui est selon moi plus raide.
