As a reasonably trained cyclist of 52 (71 kg), I did this climb on a hot day in full sun (30 degrees) with over 1800 altimeters in the legs already. Heavy and especially deceptive climb. The first 10 km consistently around 9-10 per cent with some brilliant hairpin turns at the start. Outliers to 16 per cent. The cheating lies in the indicated percentages after km 10. These seem not too bad but, with the exception of two relatively flat km 10 and 11, it is very uneven climbing with constantly short walls of 8-14 per cent combined with flat sections and the occasional short descent. Only from km 17 onwards is it idd a steady climb with average percentages around 5%. The view from the car park at the top of the through road is stunning (see photos's). The road surface on this climb is poor for large parts and dangerous on the descent. There are a number of tunnels, one of which is completely dark. Combined with the poor road surface, I rode through those on the descent with my buttocks squeezed together. Next time, I would definitely bring a front light for good visibility. Traffic is fairly quiet and the surroundings of the climb are stunning. Around km 16-17 you pass the typical holiday village of Bonne with shops and terraces. At several places along the road are points where you can fill your water bottle with ice-cold mountain water.

Als redelijk getrainde fietser van 52 (71 kg) heb ik deze klim gedaan op een warme dag in de volle zon (30 graden) met al ruim 1800 hoogtemeters in de benen. Zware en vooral bedrieglijke klim. De eerste 10 km constant rond de 9-10 procent met aan het begin een aantal schitterende haarspeldbochten. Uitschieters naar 16 procent. Het bedrieglijke zit hem in de aangegeven percentages na km 10. Deze lijken mee te vallen maar met uitzondering van twee relatief vlakke kilometers 10 en 11 is het zeer ongelijkmatig klimmen met steeds korte muurtjes van 8-14 procent gecombineerd met vlakke stukjes en af en toe een korte afdaling. Pas vanaf km 17 is het idd een gelijkmatige klim met gemiddelde percentages rond de 5%. Het uitzicht op de parkeerplaats op de top van de doorgaande weg is schitterend (zie foto's). Het wegdek op deze klim is grote delen slecht en gevaarlijk in de afdaling. Er is een aantal tunnels waarvan er één volledig donker is. In combinatie met het slechte wegdek heb ik die met samengeknepen billen doorgereden in de afdaling. Volgende keer zou ik zeker een voorlamp meenemen voor goed zicht. Verkeer is redelijk rustig en de omgeving van de klim is schitterend. Rond km 16-17 passeer je het typische vakantiedorpje Bonne met winkeltjes en terrasjes. Op verschillende plaatsen langs de weg zijn punten waar je je bidon kunt vullen met ijskoud bergwater.
