The road does turn right at the end, but that part is much less steep (another 4-5 percent or so). The steep part is like a straight line in front of you.

A perfect but rather extremely steep runner. At the start you actually see the whole climb in front of you. The road does turn right at the end, but that part is much less steep (another 4-5 percent or so). The steep part is like a straight line in front of you. In itself, the climb is not long, but once you're on it you're disappointed because the percentage is continuously quite devastating for your upper legs. Because it is a runner, it is still good to dose although you are clearly less fresh at the top than at the beginning. The turn to the right on the inside is also pretty tough. After that, the last bit is a bike ride. Unfortunately the surroundings offer little reference for the steepness. Good tarmac further.
Een perfecte maar best extreem steile loper. Bij het begin zie je eigenlijk de hele klim voor je liggen. De weg gaat op het eind wel naar rechts maar dat stuk is veel minder steil (nog een procent of 4-5 of zo). Het steile deel ligt als een kaarsrechte lijn voor je. Op zich is de klim niet lang maar als je eenmaal bezig bent valt het dan toch weer tegen want het percentage is continue behoorlijk verwoestend voor de bovenbenen. Omdat het een loper is, is het toch wel goed te doseren al ben je boven wel duidelijk minder fris dan bij het begin. De bocht naar rechts is aan de binnenkant ook best pittig. Daarna is het laatste stukje uitfietsen. De omgeving biedt helaas weinig referentie voor de steilheid. Prima asfalt verder.
