I agree with Kevin: a tough climb! I did it at the beginning of August in warm weather. From meter 1 the double percentages start and only stop in the last km. The first 3 km are through villages and open terrain without shelter. After 3 km the road goes into the forest and the rest of the climb there is regular shelter. After 5 km you come to a barrier. Other road users have to pay toll here, you as a cyclist do not. The road surface is variable: new sections alternate with bad sections. There is little or no traffic. I was a bit disappointed by the highest point of the climb: I had expected a hut or something. If you continue along the paved road (after a short descent) you will arrive at a ski lift and you can probably eat something, or in my case, fill your water bottles. The descent is sometimes a challenge because of the bad tarmac and double percentages.
I think you can also do the ascent in the other direction (or descent) but then on a MTB over a dirt road.

Ik sluit mij aan bij Kevin: een heftige beklimming! Ik deed hem begin augustus in warm weer. Vanaf meter 1 beginnen de dubbele percentages en die houden pas op in de laatste km. De eerste 3 km zijn door dorpjes en door open terrein zonder beschutting. Na 3 km gaat de weg over in het bos en is er gedurende de rest van de klim geregeld beschutting. Na 5 km kom je bij een slagboom. Medeweggebruikers moeten hier tol betalen, jij als fietser niet. Het wegdek is wisselend: nieuwe stukken worden afgewisseld met slechte stukken. Er is niet tot nauwelijks verkeer. Het hoogste punt van de beklimming vond ik een beetje teleurstellend: ik had een hut oid verwacht. Als je even doorfiets over de verharde weg (na een korte afdaling) kom je bij een skilift en kun je vast iets eten, of in mijn geval je bidons bij vullen. De afdaling is door het af en toe slechte asfalt en dubbele percentages een uitdaging.
De beklimming kan je volgens mij ook via de andere kant doen (of afdaling) maar dan op een MTB over een onverharde weg.

Another 'hors categorie'climb near Lienz. The climb starts just outside the city and immediately goes towards double percentages. The climb is ten kilometers long, with percentages that never go lower than 10 percent and hardly a rest stop. You also feel like you are alone in the world on this climb. After the summit, there is a short descent to the ski lifts (and restaurants).

Opnieuw een 'hors categorie' beklimming bij Lienz. De klim start net buiten de stad en gaat meteen richting dubbele percentages. Tien kilometer lang is het harken naar boven, met percentages die nooit lager dan 10% gaan en bovendien nauwelijks een rustpunt. Ook op deze klim waan je je alleen op de wereld. Na de top volgt een kleine afdaling naar de skiliften (en horeca).
