The Wall of Platja D'Aro, The Hell of Catalonia, The Iberian Stockeu, just a few terms that came to mind while cycling up. Man, what a climb. I estimate that it was at least 600 metres. Was well parked. It was doable in April with 28 degrees, but I wouldn't dream of it in the summer. How much fun is the climb? Depends when you ask me. During the climb? 1/5 (actually not fun at all).

Really snappy, make sure you have the right gears, I didn't really have them, didn't know what was coming. So half dead at the top, nevergiveup

Echt pittig, zorg voor de juiste versnellingen, die had ik niet echt, wist niet wat er ging komen. Dus half dood boven, nevergiveup

here I professionalize a volta and I saw the professionals put foot, the garmin marked me a maximum of 26%, I have climbed it many times to train strength but I don't do it anymore, do I recommend it?No, not because of the hardness but because it is too short, but that stretch of about 300mt, because what comes after seems like a rest but it is at 12% and 16%, very hard and tiring. the professionals who live here climb it by another slope from castillo d aro more bearable.

aqui fionalizo una volta y vi poner pie a los profesionales, el garmin me marco un maximo de 26%, yo la he subido muchas veces pars entrenar fuerza pero ya no la hago, la recomiendo?No, no por la dureza si no por que es demasiado corta, pero ese tramo de unos 300mt, poir que el compañero que ha puesto 100mt, es por que lo que vienen despues parece un descanso pero es al 12% y al 16%, muy dura y lesionadora. los profesionales que viven por aqui la suben por otra vertiete desde castillo d aro mas llevadera

If you like a challenge, this is your climb. Has quite a steep section in it of a few 100 metres. I tackle it every year when I am in Platja. During the climb I think, why am I doing this, but when I can breathe again that Yes feeling comes.

Als je van een uitdaging houdt, is dit jouw klim. Zit een flink steil stuk in van een paar 100 meter. Pak hem elk jaar wel mee als ik in Platja ben. Tijdens de klim denk ik, waarom doe ik dit, maar als ik weer adem kan halen komt dat Yes gevoel.

De Muur van Platja D’Aro, De Hel van Catalonië, De Iberische Stockeu, even paar termen die bij me naar boven kwam een am tijdens het naar boven fietsen. Man, wat een beklimming. Schat in dat het minimaal 600 meter >16% was. Stond goed geparkeerd. Was nog wel aardig te doen in april met 28 graden, maar zou er niet aan moeten denken in de zomer. Hoe leuk is de klim? Ligt eraan wanneer je me het vraagt. Tijdens de klim? 1/5 (eigenlijk helemaal niet leuk). Erna, als het erop zit? 5/5! NB denk eraan dat je doorfietst als het wat vlakker wordt ivm het Strava-segment!
