You could call this climb or rather wall the beast of the Drome. You have the Angliru in Asturias and in the Drome you have the Valouse. Not normal the middle part of this climb. There are constant steps in the middle with short stretches above 20%.
The climb starts by going up the col de Valouse ( D130) from the D70. Halfway you can turn right at a house on a bit of a goat path (Angliru). The first 100 m are ok but then it starts. It is almost always straight on but after a small km you have to look up to see the road. Luckily I have a tripple on my mountain bike and I had to do a Pello Bilbao to get to the top.
But once at the top, you are glad that you made it without dismounting but with the help of Climbfinder (see extra picture). Fortunately, this beast is only 2.3 km long . Beware of the bad road surface and especially the many stones, but with a road bike it is quite doable. Fortunately no cars here because passerrn is get off and try to leave again in the middle piece.

" Het beest van de Drome " zou je deze klim of beter gezegd muur kunnen noemen. Je hebt de Angliru in Asturië en in de Drome heb je de Valouse. Niet normaal het middenstuk van deze klim. Het zijn constant trapjes in het midden met korte stukjes boven de 20%.
De klim begint eigenlijk door de col de Valouse ( D130) op te rijden vanaf de D70. Halfweg kan je rechts aan een huis rechtsaf een beetje een geitenpad op ( Angliru) . De eerste 100 m zijn ok maar dan begint het . Het is bijna altijd rechtdoor maar na een kleine km moet je omhoog kijken om de weg nog te zien. Gelukkig heb ik vooraan een tripple staan op mijn mountainbike en dan heb ik nog een Pello Bilbaotje moeten doen om boven te geraken.
Maar eens boven ben je blij dat je er geraakt bent zonder afstappen maar met de hulp van Climbfinder ( zie extra foto ) . Gelukkig is dit beest maar 2.3 km lang . Opgelet voor het slechte wegdek en vooral de vele stenen maar met een wegfiets best te ddoen. Gelukkig geen auto's hier want passerrn is afstappen en probeer dan maar terug te vertrekken in het middenstuk.
