Great climb, almost zero traffic. Can also be part of a variation of rounds in a beautiful area.

Great challenge, zero cars, feels like your own personal road/adventure.

Very poor road conditions make it not just a fitness challenge. Doable on 28mm Tubeless road tires, i would however recommend >=32mm to really enjoy this one.
